1. Stand in the name of women’s cricketer Jhulan Goswami

A stand named Jhulan Goswami has been built in Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Before the match, a stand was inaugurated in the name of Indian women’s cricket legend Jhulan Goswami. In November last year, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) had proposed to name a stand in the ‘B’ block of the stadium in honor of the former India and Bengal fast bowler.

A few months after the announcement, Jhulan was honored for this during an event organized by CAB on 20 January. He said, this is the victory of every girl who dreams of doing something big in cricket. Jhulan Goswami has taken 355 wickets in 284 matches of international cricket.
