India's finest ever batter Mithali, who called time on a glorious career in July, on Saturday welcomed her contemporary and fast-bowling great Jhulan into the former cricketers' club. Having shared the dressing room for close to two decades, Mithali and Jhulan saw the massive growth of women's cricket in India, shared many memorable wins and also some heartbreaking losses.
Jhulan Goswami's commitment to the game was such that she would "spit fire" even while bowling in the nets, and at the receiving end of it often was her longtime teammate and captain, Mithali Raj. India's finest ever batter Mithali, who called time on a glorious career in July, on Saturday welcomed her contemporary and fast-bowling great Jhulan into the former cricketers' club. Having shared the dressing room for close to two decades, Mithali and Jhulan saw the massive growth of women's cricket in India, shared many memorable wins and also some heartbreaking losses.
Harmanpreet and Jhulan came for the toss together and stood alongside England captain Amy Jones.
The All India Football Federation (AIFF), however, did not mention the teams the Indians will play against. "These friendlies have been planned as part of the team's preparation for the upcoming FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in India from October 11," the AIFF said in a release.
Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) on Saturday announced that they are planning to name a stand at the Eden Gardens after Jhulan Goswami. In one of its kind honouring, CAB organised the telecast of her last game at an Inox auditorium in South Kolkata before 170 budding women cricketers, CAB members and office bearers.
On the occasion of Team India's ICC T20 World Cup 2007 win, former Indian batter Robin Uthappa said on Saturday that he still remembers his celebration after the famous bowl-out after a thrilling tied Group D clash with arch-rivals Pakistan during the tournament. A new chapter in Indian cricket history was written when a young and relatively inexperienced Team India led by MS Dhoni won the hearts of a billion fans as they defeated Pakistan in the finals of the inaugural ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 15 years to this day.
Saturday marks the 15th anniversary of India lifting the 2007 T20 World Cup title. The MS Dhoni-led team beat Pakistan in a thrilling final in Johannesburg to win the maiden T20 World Cup. The match went down to the final over and MS Dhoni turned to the relatively unknown Joginder Sharma. The pacer went on to dismiss Misbah-ul-Haq to win the match for India, and Sreesanth, who took the all-important catch of Misbah, revealed why Dhoni opted for Joginder to bowl the final over.
The final match of the series, already claimed by the visitors, is veteran seamer Jhulan Goswami's last outing in the international arena, and India would look to make it memorable by winning it and completing a clean sweep for the first time on English soil.
