Nobody can fill in 'passionate' Jhulan Goswami’s shoes ever, remarks Harmanpreet Kaur

Having made her International debut back in 2002, Goswami retired from T20s in 2018, and played her last Test match in October last year. In all, she has played 12 Tests, 68 T20Is and 201 ODIs including six World Cup appearances.

Harmanpreet Kaur, India women's skipper paid a rich tribute to Goswami ahead of their England tour. Notably, Kaur made her debut under Goswami in a game against Pakistan at the 2009 World Cup and admitted that she has learned plenty of leadership skills from Goswami during their journey. Kaur particularly highlighted Goswami's energy in training sessions and her immense passion for the game.

"She (Goswami) goes to every game with the same kind of passion which is unmatched, nobody can beat that. She's someone who always puts in the same kind of effort, bowling two-three hours. She still puts in the same kind of hard work she used to during her early days... I've never seen her make any changes to her practice regimen," Kaur told reporters, shared by the BCCI Women.

"When I made my debut she was the captain, it's a great opportunity for me that I would be leading the side when she would be playing her last ODI. When I entered the team, she was the one who was leading from the front. I've learnt a lot from her. Nobody can fill in her shoes," Kaur added.
