Watch Pics As Anushka Sharma Rocks Eden Gardens In Jhulan Goswami Avatar

Anushka Sharma is currently busy shooting for her new project which is a biopic on Indian women team’s bowling legend Jhulan Goswami. The Bollywood actress and wife of India skipper was recently in Kolkata for the shooting of the movie named Chakdah Express. Anushka Sharma was at the iconic Eden Gardens for the shoot.

On Saturday, she was seen dressed in Indian cricket team’s jersey as she began shooting. The actress was joined by Jhulan Goswami herself at the time of the shooting. Anushka Sharma looked stunning in the blue jersey as she sported a similar hairstyle as Jhulan during the shoot. The actress filmed a scene of entering the stadium with 10 players. The crew shot till 5 am in the morning but Anushka packed up at 4 am and left for Mumbai on Sunday.

"#AnushkaSharma was very friendly during the shoot. She seemed extremely grounded and very particular about everything. Apart from her bowling action, Anushka constantly rehearsed the walking and warm-up style with Jhulandi" – Beauty Chakraborty (part of 10 member team at the shoot) as she starts to shoot for #JhulanGoswami bio pic.

Having retired from T20Is in 2018, Jhulan Goswami is one of the finest pacers to have played the women’s game.  In 2018, she became the first bowler to take 200 wickets in Women’s ODIs. The right-arm fast bowler from West Bengal, who was also awarded the ICC Women’s Player of Year award in 2007, later had a postage stamp issued in her honour.

So far, Jhulan, Goswami has taken 225 wickets in 182 matches after making her ODI debut in 2002. In the ten Tests she has played, she has bagged 40 wickets at an astonishing average of 16.62 with three five-wicket hauls.

Meanwhile, the upcoming film has further extended the trend of biopics in recent times. The last couple of years have seen films being made not only on cricketers but also on eminent personalities of other sports too. From Bhaag Milkha Bhaag to Mary Kom to Mohammed Azharuddin, MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar, the fans have witnessed some really top-notch biopics in recent times.
