Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma extended congratulations to veteran Indian pacer Jhulan Goswami as the cricketer added another feather to her crowded cap on Saturday, March 12. In her prolific 22-year-old career, Goswami surpassed yet another milestone by becoming the leading wicket-taker in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup history.
