"I can't compare myself with a legend like Glenn McGrath," Jhulan Goswami politely said when asked if she was to women's cricket what the Australia legend was to the men's format. It was Goswami being herself: modest, down-to-earth and firmly grounded even though her CV boasts of impressive numbers, none more impressive than the record she achieved on Tuesday during a quadrangular series fixture against South Africa: becoming the highest wicket-taker in Women's ODIs after going past Australia fast bowler Cathryn Fitzpatrick's record of 180 wickets.
Goswami wasn't a definite starter to be on the plane to South Africa.
