“They doubted me. Laughed at me. Refused to play with me. Girls are playing cricket? That’s not possible.”
In the world of cricket, where records are created and broken every day, there’s an icon who has not only shattered records but also shattered stereotypes to empower us all. She's worked twice as hard, both on and off the field, giving women equal representation in a male-dominated sport. This cricketer from Chakdaha didn't wait for change; she took charge and bowled out the stereotypes that once looked down upon women pursuing cricket professionally. From representing India in multiple World Cups to becoming the highest wicket-taker in Women’s World Cup history in 2022, Jhulan Goswami continues to inspire young girls across the country to pursue their cricketing dreams. As the mentor and bowling coach of the women’s cricket team of Mumbai Indians in WPL, she brings invaluable insights, expertise and leadership values.
Join us as she narrates her extraordinary journey from a small town to scaling the peaks of international cricket.
This is the story of Jhulan Goswami – a true WinnHER of the game.
The WinnHER CIRCLE Project is our annual initiative to nurture a culture of empowerment in sports. At the heart of this initiative lies our commitment to building an ecosystem that creates a ripple effect of parity in the playground. Through the stories of triumph, perseverance, and excellence shared by women in different sports, our aim is to inspire every woman and girl who dreams of stepping onto the field, court, track, or arena.
