'Playing With Us Jhulu Di': India, Jhulan Goswami Aim For England ODI Whitewash
Jhulan Goswami hopes India sweeps the ODI series 3-0 against England. Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues shared memories with her ahead of the second ODI.
Ahead of the second ODI against England at Lord's, veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami wants the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side to sweep the 50-over series 3-0 after winning the opening encounter by four wickets in Southampton.
The visiting side has already proved their potential by winning their first-ever T20I series against England by 4-2 last week.
Ahead of their second ODI, Harmanpreet and Jemimah Rodrigues had a video call with the former pacer from the Lord's and shared their memories of playing together at the venue.
'So good to see you again. Guess where we are," Harmanpreet and Jemimah said in unison in a video posted by BCCI Women on X.
'We miss you Jhulu di," Jemimah said.
'Same here, I'm also missing you guys, I wish I was there watching this game from the stands," Jhulan replied.
Jemimah quickly responded, 'Not watching but playing with us, Jhulu di" to which all of them shared a laugh.
Continuing the conversation, India captain said, 'We will miss your Lord's spell tomorrow."
'I'm gonna miss you guys. It was a great memory. We won 3-0 for the first time in England. I hope you guys do that same. Repeat that same. You've got great momentum on your side," Jhulan said.
Goswami, regarded as one of India's finest fast bowlers, brought the curtain down on her illustrious career at Lord's in September 2022, taking two wickets in a victorious ODI against England to sweep the series 3-0 for the first time on English soil.
With the momentum on India's side following their historic T20I series win and win in the opening ODI, the hopes of repeating 2022 heroics are very much achievable for the touring team.
The second ODI is set to be played at Lord's on Saturday.

The fourth Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England ended in a draw on Sunday (July 27). India trailed by 311 runs after the end of the first innings of both teams, but in the final two days of the game's play at Old Trafford in Manchester, Indian batters stepped up and batted for 143 overs to cancel out England's chances of securing an outright win and seal the series with a scoreline of 3-1. Shubman Gill (103), Ravindra Jadeja (107*), and Washington Sundar (101*) scored centuries for India in the second innings.

The two-time WTC losing finalists have 16 points to their credit from the available 48, and their PCT% is 33.33. England also remain third in the points table, but their PCT% has now dropped from 61.11 to 54.16.

The Baggy Greens have 36 points and 100 PCT% to their credit after securing a 3-0 series win over the West Indies earlier this month. They are followed by the Sri Lankan team, which have 66.67 PCT%.

The fifth and final Test of the ongoing series between India and England will be played at The Oval in London from July 31 to August 4, and if Shubman Gill's men manage to get the better of England in that fixture, then India will rise to third position with 46.66 PCT% and England will drop to 4th position with 43.33 PCT%. view comments First Published: July 27, 2025, 22:11 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Zak Crawley's sneaky attempt to induce reverse-swing and stop India's resistance fails, gets stern warning from umpire
India's resistance on the final day of the Manchester Test was anchored by Shubman Gill's brilliant hundred and extended through a century stand between Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja. The duo frustrated England through the second session, steering India into a lead and dragging the game into territory where the visitors could sniff a dramatic draw. Umpire warns Zak Crawley after a throw on the side pitch(JioHotstar) With the ball getting softer and England visibly tiring, Jadeja and Sundar rarely looked in trouble, until an incident during the third session raised eyebrows. In the 122nd over of India's innings, as Sundar and Jadeja casually worked a single off Liam Dawson, England's Zak Crawley appeared to aim his throw towards the side pitch rather than directly at the stumps. The ball landed exactly on the rough patch beside the main strip, visibly kicking up dust before bouncing to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith. The on-field umpire immediately intervened, pulling Crawley aside and issuing a warning to avoid such throws. The timing and trajectory of the throw sparked questions about intent, particularly as England had been searching desperately for reverse swing and turn from the ball on the fifth-day surface. 'Crawley thinks he has gotten away with it. He hasn't,' Nasser Hussain, the former English captain who was on-air when the replays where shown, remarked on the incident. Gill's century Earlier, India's fight was led by captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, who forged a brilliant 188-run stand to steer the visitors out of trouble. India were staring at a potential fourth-day defeat when they were reduced to 0/2 within just five deliveries of the opening over; however, Rahul (90) and Gill (103) produced a gritty outing, surviving the early pressure before taking the attack to England. Rahul departed just 10 short of the century within the first hour of play, but the early dismissal did little to rattle India's fight, as Sundar, and then Jadeja, walked in with a similar intent. A draw at Manchester would ensure India a chance to level the series in the final Test at the Oval. England are currently leading the series 2-1, defeating the visitors in Headingley and Lord's. India registered a mammoth 336-run win over the side at Edgbaston.

IND vs ENG: Not even Virat Kohli! Ravindra Jadeja reaches historic milestone during 4th Test against England
India's Ravindra Jadeja plays (AP Photo/Jon Super) Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja continues to defy convention and statistics alike with a string of standout performances in England, further cementing his status as one of India's most complete cricketers. With his latest gritty half-century at Old Trafford, Jadeja now boasts nine 50+ scores in England, more than former stalwarts such as Virat Kohli (7), Ajinkya Rahane (7), Cheteshwar Pujara (6), and even the elegant VVS Laxman (5). India vs England rain, weather forecast: Can Shubman Gill-KL Rahul pull off stunning draw? Remarkably, he also averages higher than all of them in English conditions, a feat few would have predicted for a spin-bowling all-rounder once regarded primarily for his bowling. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! His awe-inspiring batting on the final day of the fourth Test came at a critical juncture. Alongside Washington Sundar, Jadeja stitched together an unbroken 150-run partnership that helped India wipe out England's massive 347-run first-innings lead. From 0-2 early in their second innings, India battled to 375-4 with a couple of hours remaining in the match, leading by 64 runs and grinding down an increasingly fatigued English attack. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Price May Surprise You) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Shubman Gill's marathon 228-ball hundred, a new Indian record for most runs in a series against England (722), set the stage. Poll What do you think is the key to Jadeja's success in English conditions? Technical skill Mental toughness Adaptability But after his dismissal for 103, it was Jadeja, dropped first ball by Joe Root, who anchored the rear guard with poise and patience. His fifth fifty of the series came in style, slicing Ben Stokes to the boundary and celebrating with his trademark sword dance in front of jubilant India fans. As England's bowlers flagged, Stokes battling through pain, Archer probing for breakthroughs, and Root tossing in occasional spin, Jadeja remained firm. In English conditions where many Indian batters have historically struggled, Ravindra Jadeja has quietly built a record that now rivals, and in many cases surpasses, the legends.
