The Legendary Jhulan Goswami bowed out from international cricket with yet another milestone to her name. She became the first ever cricketer in women’s ODI history to bowl 10,000 deliveries.

The cricketer donned the Indian jersey for one last time as she played against England in the last ODI at the Lord’s on Saturday.

Jhulan Nishit Goswami is regarded as one of the greatest and fastest women bowlers of all time. She played 204 ODI matches, taking 255 wickets, and holds the record for taking the most number of wickets in Women’s One Day International cricket till date.

Goswami won the ICC Women’s Player of the Year award in 2007 and the M.A. Chidambaram trophy for Best Women’s Cricketer in 2011. She rose to number one in the ICC Women’s ODI bowling rankings in January 2016.

A biopic on her is in the making with the working title Chakdaha Express. The biopic will be directed by Sushanta Das, it will trace Goswami’s journey from the Vivekananda Park nets in Kolkata to the Lord’s cricket ground in London, where India lost the World Cup final against England in July.
