Jhulan Goswami becomes the highest wicket taker in women's ODIs

The Indian all-rounder, with 223 international wickets and 1593 runs to her name, has written her name in the history books of women's cricket for ages to come as she became the highest wicket taker in the history of the game. Raisibe Ntozakhe, the number 11 South African batswoman, became Goswami's 181st victim as she finished the innings with figures of 3/20 from 7.3 overs. Goswami overtook Australian bowler Cathryn Fitzpatrick's tally of 180 wickets. India is currently competing in a quadrangular series against Ireland, South Africa and Zimbabwe in Potchefstroom. Goswami took the 181 wickets at a splendid average of 21.76.
