The Indian Cricket Team is on fire in the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2017. They crushed arch-rivals side, Pakistan in a lop-sided match by 95 runs. But for seasoned Indian pacer, Jhulan Goswami, the day was made even more special by a young talented cricketer. Kainat Imtiaz, the 25-year-old all-rounder from Pakistan, shared an emotional post on Instagram after the excited India vs Pakistan match dedicating it to her idol – Jhulan Goswami. Along with a heartwarming note, the post contained a picture of the two cricketers reflecting the true sense of sportsmanship. Mithali Raj shuts down a reporter like a boss when asked about her favourite male cricketer on the eve of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017.

It was dreams come true for the Pakistan fast bowler when she played a match against a side featuring her role model. Kainat Imtiaz in a self-confessed note admitted of being heavily inspired by the senior pacer, Jhulan Goswami, who has been a true ambassador of Indian woman’s cricket for the years. The Karachi-born shared a picture of perfect fangirl moment on all her social media handles and revealing how Jhulan was the reason for her to become a fast bowler. Virat Kohli and Yuraj Singh laughing with Pakistani players after losing ICC Champions Trophy 2017 puts true sportsmanship on display (Watch Video).

Kainat shared how she was completely blown away by the persona of Jhulan Goswami when she first saw the Indian fast bowler playing in 2005 Asia Cup held in Pakistan. The budding talent from across the border revealed she was a ball picker at the point of time and it was the sheer charisma of Jhulan who motivated her to become a cricketer and primarily a fast bowler.

Her note reads, “Let me share a story with you all. In 2005 i saw the Indian team for the 1st time as the Asia Cup was held in Pakistan. I was the ball picker during the tornament… I saw @jhulangoswami. The fastest bowler of that time. I was so impressed that i chose cricket as a career. Specificly fast bowling. Its a proud moment for me as after 12 years today in 2017 i am playing this ODI World Cup with one of my inspirations and getting more inspired…….” Is it not so admirable of these two fabulous women!
