Goswami is focused on the title rather than the milestones as she competes in her fifth and last World Cup. If you play for a long period, you’ll hit a few milestones; definitely, that brings me a lot of pleasure. I appreciate it (when) I am able to participate and the team succeeds.
Personal achievements don’t matter to me since I am a total team player, she explained. In 196 ODIs, he has 247 wickets. She became the most successful ODI bowler in history last year.
She has been the team’s main bowler since her ODI debut in 2002.
