Take a Bow Jhulan. For many years she & Mithali Raj were the only known faces of #womeninsports in cricket in #India . For lady to break the stereotype & emerge as a fast bowler that today when she bows out the entire world salutes her for being an inspiration. #JhulanGoswami pic.twitter.com/hHL1F6pvOK
