Now that the 'Chakdah Express' has finally come to a halt, former India skipper Jhulan Goswami admits to being in the grip of nostalgia. As memories engulf her, the just-retired fast bowler, who boasts of 355 career wickets, is happy to put her feet up and enjoy the Durga Puja festivities without having to worry about maintaining her fitness.

I want to thank the BCCI and my teammates for making it special. The BCCI pushed me to work on my injuries and get back on the field for one last series.
