LONDON : India's Jhulan Goswami, the leading wicket-taker in women's ODIs, bowed out of international cricket on Saturday at Lord's after bowling her 10,000th ball in one-day matches, as her side completed a 3-0 series win over England with a controversial final wicket.

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.
Apart from proving to be an able leader for Saurashtra, Unadkat has evolved as a bowler, who can deliver irrespective of the pitch or circumstances. This quality has been on ample show in the ongoing Duleep Trophy, in which he has picked up 19 wickets thus far for West Zone. With the heart of a lion and nerves of steel, the domestic stalwart has made consistency the hallmark of his career.
Reeling at 156 for six at stumps on the fourth and penultimate day, South Zone were staring at a heavy defeat as they trailed by 375 runs. West Zone put up a mammoth 585 for four in their second innings after conceding a 57-run first-innings lead to their opponents. Prolific run-scorer Sarfaraz Khan recorded a fine, unbeaten century (127 off 178 balls) to continue West's charge after overnight double centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for 265 at the SNR College Cricket Ground.
And who better than Adani Sportsline Gujarat Giant's Joginder Sharma - the medium-pacer who helped India notch up a famous five-run win - to reminisce about what happened on that special night!
Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Avishek Dalmiya on Saturday announced that the organisation is planning to name a stand at the Eden Gardens after legendary India pacer Jhulan Goswami, subject to the approval of apex council. Dalmiya's comments come when the CAB, in one of its kind honouring, is organising the live telecast of Jhulan's last international match, against England at Lord's, at an Inox auditorium on Elgin Road in Kolkata before 170 budding women cricketers, CAB members and office bearers. Considered as one of the greatest cricketers to have ever played the game, Jhulan, currently the leading wicket-taker in women's international cricket with 353 scalps, made her India debut through an ODI in January 2002 against England in Chennai.
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.
