Jhulan Goswami stand: Another historic moment at Eden Gardens
Hindustan Times Gurugram|December 18, 2024
KOLKATA: At 6.58 pm on a misty winter evening near the Eden Gardens change rooms, Jhulan Goswami took the stage. And said she was speechless.
Dhiman Sarkar

The occasion – she now has a stand at the Eden Gardens named after her – she said later, had got to her. Which is saying a lot. No bowler has as many wickets as Goswami in international women's one-dayers. She is the only one to have over 200 ODI dismissals in the history of the game. Before Ellyse Perry and Shabnim Ismail, she was the fastest bowler in women's ODIs. Till it is held up in the cold light of the day, her career statistics seem like fiction.

Twice, she has been the world's No.1 ODI bowler. She has played World Cup finals, led India and got a guard of honour at Lord's to end a 20-year international career. And she has played all forms for India. "I couldn't do that," said Sourav Ganguly speaking before her.
