Former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami was overcome with emotion as India’s women’s cricket team lifted its maiden ICC Women’s World Cup trophy, defeating South Africa by 52 runs in the final held in Navi Mumbai. For many, it was a full-circle moment — watching the legend, who captained India from 2008 to 2011, finally hold the trophy that had eluded her throughout her illustrious two-decade career.
Jhulan Goswami’s Heartwarming Moment After India’s Victory
In a video shared widely across social media, Jhulan can be seen holding the trophy before sharing a long, emotional hug with captain Harmanpreet Kaur and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana. The moment — tender, tearful, and triumphant — has since gone viral, with fans across the country calling
it a “poetic culmination of her legacy.”
The clip also reignited conversation around Jhulan’s shelved biopic Chakda Xpress, starring Anushka Sharma, which remains unreleased despite having wrapped up production in 2023.
Fans Demand Netflix to Release Chakda Xpress
Soon after the video surfaced, fans flooded X (formerly Twitter), tagging Netflix India, Anushka Sharma, and Clean Slate Films, urging them to release the biopic now — calling this the “perfect time” to celebrate Jhulan’s story.

Shot in 2022 and directed by Prosit Roy, Chakda Xpress chronicles Jhulan’s journey from a small town in Bengal to becoming one of the fastest bowlers in women’s cricket history. The film has been long awaited by fans, and the renewed attention around India’s World Cup triumph has only amplified the calls for its release.
Harmanpreet Kaur on Jhulan Goswami’s Influence
Following the historic win, captain Harmanpreet Kaur reflected on Jhulan’s immense impact on her career. “Jhulan Di was my biggest support. When I joined the team, she was leading it. She always supported me in my early days when I was very raw and didn’t know much about cricket. She guided me when I was still learning how to balance discipline and passion,” she shared.
Jhulan Goswami may have retired from the game, but her spirit continues to shape generations. As the nation celebrates this defining victory, fans believe the moment is not just about winning a trophy — it’s about closure, legacy, and the celebration of a woman who laid the foundation for history.
