The Indian pacer, Jhulan Goswami has become the joint-highest wicket taker in the Women’s World Cup. She achieved this milestone on Thursday playing against New Zealand in the ongoing tournament when she dismissed wicketkeeper Katey Martin in the 50th over. She equaled the tally of 39 wickets taken by Lyn Fullston of Australia from 1982 to 1988. Fullston took 20 matches to achieve the milestone. However, Goswami took 30 matches.
In an illustrious career spanning two decades, Goswami has now 39 wickets to her name across five Women’s Cricket World Cups since 2005. She made her international debut in 2002 in a one-day International Match against England in Chennai. The 39-year-old also has the most scalps in all Women’s One-Day Internationals (WODIs) with 248 wickets in 197 matches.
