Jhulan Goswami Becomes Leading Wicket-Taker in World Cup History

Veteran India pacer Jhulan Goswami on Saturday added another cap to her glittering career. In India's third match of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup against the West Indies, Jhulan became the leading wicket-taker in the history of Women's Cricket World Cup by dismissing West Indies spinner Anisa Mohammed.

Anisa flicked to mid-wicket fielder, becoming Jhulan's 40th overall scalp in the tournament and was able to overtake Australia's Lyn Fullston's record since 1988 of 39 wickets at an average of 11.94.

Almost 17 years ago, Goswami took her first World Cup wicket, dismissing Inoka Galagedara of Sri Lanka on March 22, 2005.
