Back in 1999, when Goswami hadn’t even made her international debut, India’s women last defeated England in an ODI series. So, the renowned “Jhulu Di” of the Indian team will know that she is a pleased soul as she plays in her 204th and final game. India currently have a 2-0 lead against the home side and will go for a series clean sweep on Saturday.
Perhaps an ICC trophy would have looked lovely (she had two chances at that in 2005 and 2017 when India competed in the final), but sometimes certain things are not meant to be.
She might recall a lot of things as she makes her bowling mark for the final time and climbs the Lord’s slope to add to his 353 international wickets (across formats). But one thing that will always be with her that she is retiring as a legend of the game.
There will probably be a few tears shed in the Indian dressing room as well as outside of it on Saturday when the final run is scored or the final wicket is taken. As the 5 feet 11-inch Goswami, after all, has been a towering presence for more than 20 years, serving in a variety of capacities, including captain, older sibling, friend, mentor, philosopher, and more.
