It was a great memory: Jhulan Goswami hopes Harmanpreet & Co repeat England clean sweep in ODI series

Veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami encourages Indian women's cricket team to repeat historic 3-0 series win against England at Lord's

"We won 3-0 for the first time in England. I hope you guys do that same. - Jhulan Goswami"

New Delhi, July 19

Ahead of the second ODI against England at Lord's, veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami wants the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side to sweep the 50-over series 3-0 after winning the opening encounter by four wickets in Southampton.

The visiting side has already proved their potential by winning their first-ever T20I series against England by 4-2 last week.

Ahead of their second ODI, Harmanpreet and Jemimah Rodrigues had a video call with the former pacer from the Lord's and shared their memories of playing together at the venue.

"So good to see you again. Guess where we are," Harmanpreet and Jemimah said in unison in a video posted by BCCI Women on X.

"We miss you Jhulu di," Jemimah said.

"Same here, I'm also missing you guys, I wish I was there watching this game from the stands," Jhulan replied.

Jemimah quickly responded, "Not watching but playing with us, Jhulu di" to which all of them shared a laugh.

Continuing the conversation, India captain said, "We will miss your Lord's spell tomorrow."

"I'm gonna miss you guys. It was a great memory. We won 3-0 for the first time in England. I hope you guys do that same. Repeat that same. You've got great momentum on your side," Jhulan said.

Goswami, regarded as one of India's finest fast bowlers, brought the curtain down on her illustrious career at Lord's in September 2022, taking two wickets in a victorious ODI against England to sweep the series 3-0 for the first time on English soil.

With the momentum on India's side following their historic T20I series win and win in the opening ODI, the hopes of repeating 2022 heroics are very much achievable for the touring team.

The second ODI is set to be played at Lord's on Saturday.

While I'm excited about the match, I wish BCCI would promote women's cricket more in India. These players deserve stadiums full of cheering fans like the men's team gets. The talent is clearly there!

Jemimah's energy is infectious! The way she said "Not watching but playing with us" shows the team spirit. These girls are rewriting history one match at a time. 3-0 would be epic!

Watching this team evolve has been amazing. From depending on 1-2 players to having match-winners throughout the lineup - what a journey! Hope they get the recognition they deserve back home.
