On Saturday, one of India's best female cricketers is set to play her last international game.
On Saturday, Jhulan Goswami will play the last match of her two-decade-long career in international cricket.
A former India captain, she is the highest wicket-taker in women's international cricket with 353 wickets in 283 matches. Women's cricket in India has struggled to enjoy the same level of recognition and funding as men's cricket. Goswami found a long-time personal coach in Swapan Sadhu, who set in motion the wheels of her formal training in the sport. Aged 15, she began to learn the ropes under Sadhu at Kolkata's Vivekananda Park, which was a good 80km away from her home. She would undertake solo train commutes of over two-and-a-half hours each way, thrice a week, to pursue her passion.
The 2017 ODI World Cup in England proved to be a watershed event in Goswami's career - and in Indian women's cricket.
