Jhulan Goswami becomes highest wicket-taker in Women's World Cup history
As India defeated West Indies in ICC Women's World Cup 2022, the Indian fast bowler Jhulan Goswami on Saturday became the highest wicket-taker in Women's World Cup history.
Jhulan Goswami has once again proved that there is no stopping for women, especially in sports. She surpassed the tally of 39 wickets, earlier led by Australia's Lynette Ann Fullston.

The 39-year-old bagged the 40th wicket against West Indies in the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2022 at New Zealand's Hamilton. Goswami took the record wicket in the 36th over of the innings against the West Indies.
She scalped the wicket of Anisa Mohammed who chipped the ball straight up at mid-wicket. The substitute-fielder Taniya Bhatia caught it to send back Anisa to the pavilion.
In India's opening match, Goswami bowled a brilliant spell, returning 2/26, in India's win over Pakistan. She has also played in 2005, 2009, 2013, and 2017 tournaments.
