Dubai: Tributes came flowing in from around the world for India great Jhulan Goswami after her final international match against England at Lord’s.
India legend Jhulan Goswami has decided to hang her boots after the ODI series against England at the iconic Lord’s. The storied career that began against England in Chennai comes to an end against the same opposition in London.
Goswami bows out as one of the greatest bowlers to have played the game. No women’s player has more ODI wickets than the right-arm pacer. In fact, she is the only player in women’s cricket to have breached the 250-wicket mark.
A LEGEND. AN INSPIRATION.
A remarkable 20-year career draws to a close!
Take a bow, @JhulanG10 🙌🏻 pic.twitter.com/cfnYu4nuFC
