Jhulan Goswami’s long, illustrious international career is set to end late next month. On the eve of the Indian women’s tour of England, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur paid a glowing tribute to the seamer with 352 international wickets.
“Nobody could beat Jhulan’s attitude to the game,” the captain said on Tuesday. “When I joined the Indian team, she was leading the side and I have learned a lot from her.”
Harman said nobody could fill Jhulan’s place. “Even today she does the kind of hard work she did in her younger days,” she said. “She bowls two to three hours during training sessions and you hardly see any other bowler doing it now. Even while batting at nets (she does it with the same intensity). What she brings to the game, nobody else can.”
