Taapsee
Pannu,
who
is
has
started
prepping
for
Mithali
Raj’s
biopic
named
Shabaash
Mithu,
is
currently
training
under
cricketer
Nooshin
Al
Khadeer.
Nooshin,
who
is
Mithali's
friend
and
former
teammate,
is
advising
Taapsee
with
respect
to
Mithali’s
iconic
style
of
cricket.
She
is
also
helping
the
actress
with
finer
aspects
of
emulating
the
mannerisms
of
the
former
captain
of
the
Indian
women's
national
cricket
team.
Speaking
about
Taapsee
and
the
former
Indian
captain,
Nooshin
said
there
are
many
similarities
between
the
two.
Elaborating
on
this,
Nooshin
shared,
"Taapsee
is
extremely
dedicated
and
her
commitment
to
playing
cricket
like
a
professional
is
commendable.
It
is
heartening
to
see
so
many
common
traits
between
Taapsee
and
Mithali
like
dedication,
a
go-getter
attitude
and
tenacity."
A
few
weeks
back,
Taapsee
had
shared
on
her
Twitter
page
a
glimpse
from
a
preparatory
session.
The
actress
was
holding
a
bat
and
giving
an
intense
look
while
she
captioned
her
picture
as,
"And
romance
with
the
bat
n
the
ball
has
begun....
long
way
to
go
but
a
good
start
is
half
job
done
:)
This
is
going
to
be
another
milestone
of
sorts....
For
our
captain
cool
@M_Raj03
and
all
her
