No fast bowler - men or women - in the last 70 years has had a career as long as #JhulanGoswami. It's no mean feat and she knows it too. When @a_upendran11 asked about her body during #CWC22, her candid response was "Ananya, only you can understand me."

Early on, she never hesitated to reach out to overseas pacers, nor did she think twice about passing on that knowledge to youngsters as she became their "Jhulu di". One just has to listen to Shabnim Ismail on how much she "loves and looks up to her."

And it's not just about the players. There was a sense of welcoming toward everyone. Even the toughest questions in press conferences were met with calmness and clarity. When you hear her speak, you feel reassured.

Her career is a testament to the fact that you can't become what you can't see — ask Kainat Imtiaz. Jhulan saw what she wanted to become in 1997 and went on to show generations of young girls how it is done for 20 years, 8 months, and 19 days.
