<p>Talking about the film, Anushka, who will be seen playing the titular role, said, "It is a really special film because it is essentially a story of tremendous sacrifice. 'Chakda Xpress' will be an eye-opener into the world of women's cricket. At a time when Jhulan decided to become a cricketer and make her country proud on the global stage, it was very tough for women to even think of playing the sport. This film is a dramatic retelling of several instances that shaped her life and also women`s cricket."<br />
<br />
Anushka feels proud to receive an opportunity to play Jhulan on screen."From support systems to facilities, to having&nbsp;a stable income from playing the game, to even having a future in cricket - very little propelled women of India to take up cricket as a profession. Jhulan had a fighting and extremely uncertain cricketing career and she stayed motivated to make her country proud. She strived to change the stereotype that women can`t make a career out of playing cricket in India so that the next generation of girls had a better playing field," she added<br />

Anushka shared the news with her Instagram followers as well. She posted the film's teaser in which we can see Anushka in Team India's jersey.<br />

Cricketer Jhulan can't wait for people to witness her story and cheer for women in cricket."When you represent India, that`s all that is on your mind. Tum desh ke liye khel rahe ho, apne liye nahi. 11 women playing to place Team India`s name in history. It doesn't matter if they said<em> ladkiyan cricket nahi khel sakti.</em> It doesn't matter if sometimes a man's accomplishments are placed above your own. It doesn`t matter if the stadiums are empty," Jhulan said.<br />
<br />
"When you pull up onto the pitch to bowl, all you see is the opponent holding the cricket bat and the stumps you need to knock out," she further shared.<br />

Anushka, the wife of cricketer Virat Kohli, was last seen in 'Zero' in 2018.&nbsp;</p>
