Jhulan Goswami Gets A Guard Of Honour From England Players In Farewell Match. Watch

Legendary Indian pacesetter Jhulan Goswami received a huge round of applause as she went to international cricket for the last time at Lord’s on Saturday. Veteran Seamer had already announced that India’s third ODI vs England in London would be her farewell match. Not only the audience at the iconic venue, but also the English players gave her a grand reception as they lined up to give her a guard of honour. Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma, who was in the fold when Goswami came to bat, also joined the England players by giving her a guard of honour.

Goswami also acknowledged the audience and the players before taking her fold.
