Jhulan Goswami Retires: End Of An Era In Indian Cricket

Legendary India pacer Jhulan Goswami brought down the curtain on a glorious international career on Saturday at the iconic Lord's as India beat England in the third ODI to sweep the series 3-0. Goswami, bowling her final over in international cricket, castled England's Kate Cross with a beautiful delivery that seamed in to clatter the stumps. It was her 255th ODI wicket, and 355th across formats for India. Having starred in some of India Women's most historic matches, it was only fitting that she play a major role in helping them complete their first ever ODI series sweep in England.

India women defeated England in the third ODI to complete the 3-0 series sweep. Even with England nine wickets down, Charlie Dean almost took the hosts on the brink of victory. But, Deepti Sharma ran her out at the non-striker's end as she was backing up, to seal India's win. The 20-year-old was heartbroken as she was walked away in tears after shaking hands with the Indian players. Dean had walked in with England reeling at 65 for seven in chase of 170.

Dream Farewell: India Whitewash England In Jhulan Goswami's Last Waltz

A fairy-tale ending befitting her glorious career marked Jhulan Goswami's last waltz as India Women beat England by 16 runs in the third and final ODI to record their first clean sweep in this country. That the feat was achieved at the Mecca of Cricket -- Lord's -- made it doubly satisfying. Sent into bat, India were all out for a paltry 169, and at that point it looked like the tourists may have fallen many runs short of making the match a memorable one for their legendary seamer, who is calling it quits after two decades of incredible service to the game.
