<p>Former Indian women's cricket team captain Mithali Raj paid a heartfelt tribute to legendary pacer Jhulan Goswami after her retirement from the game. Raj penned an emotional farewell message for Goswami, who recently played her last international game against England at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London.</p>

<p>It was a perfect farewell for Goswami as India defeated England by 16 runs in the third and final ODI to register their maiden clean sweep against the hosts on English soil, albeit in a controversial fashion. The 39-year-old picked up two wickets in her farewell game to retire as the leading wicket-taker in women's international cricket.</p>

<p>Raj took to Linkedin to share a heartfelt message for Goswami, with whom she shared the Indian dressing room for more than 15 years. Raj and Goswami remain two of the greatest servants of the women's game in India and have been an inspiration to millions of girls across the nation.</p>

<p>Hailing her for her longevity as a fast bowler, Raj called Goswami's commitment to the game a lesson for budding cricketers. She also said the Indian jersey will miss the 39-year-old.</p>

<p>"Her sheer longevity as a fast bowler in women's cricket for the last two decades is beyond belief. We have played together since our Under-19 days and Jhulan Goswami's commitment to the game and her eternal optimism are lessons for all those who wish to excel in the sport.

Indian women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur was in tears ahead of Jhulan Goswami's final international match at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London on Saturday. One of the best fast bowlers in women's cricket history, Goswami announced her retirement from international cricket earlier this year and will be bringing curtains down on her illustrious career after the third ODI between India and England on Saturday. Ahead of her final international appearance for the Women in Blue, Goswami was felicitated by the Indian women's team. She was presented with a special memento by Harmanpreet before the start of the game. The Indian skipper was seen trying to control her tears while honouring 39-year-old Goswami. Harmanpreet had made her international debut for India under Goswami's captaincy in 2009. She has now come a long way and is leading the Indian team across formats after Mithali Raj's retirement.
