On Saturday 24, Jhulan Goswami will play the last match of her two-decade-long career in international cricket.
The cricketer is set to retire at Lord's cricket ground, after the Indian women's cricket team plays the final match of the ongoing three-game One Day International (ODI) series against England.
Many summers ago, the towering fast bowler had plucked a blade of grass from the turf at Lord's - a keepsake in case she never returned to the hallowed stadium.
But Goswami went on to become a trail-blazer in women's cricket and inspired generations of girls in India to take up the sport.
A former India captain, she is the highest wicket-taker in women's international cricket with 353 wickets in 283 matches.
