It will be a very emotional moment for all of us and we definitely want to win that game.”

Harmanpreet also reflected on Goswami’s immense contribution to Indian cricket.
“She’s someone who has taught us a lot,” Harmanpreet said. “When I debuted she was a leader and I learned a lot from her and now our young bowlers, like Renuka [Singh] and Meghna Singh… they are also learning from her. They are learning how she bowls and getting that rhythm from her. She’s been a great inspiration for all of us and we’ve learned a lot from her.”
Goswami has played 12 Tests, 68 T20Is and 203 ODIs and is the highest wicket-taker in the women’s game with 353 international wickets so far across formats.
