Ok-ok, this is not a typo. When the entire nation mesmerized by this song, I can’t simply ignore it. :)
So this lanky, 6-feet world's fastest bowler from Chakda (80-odd km away from Kolkata, West Bengal, India), has made us proud by winning Women's Player of 2007 at the ICC Awards.
This is an iconic achievement by a woman cricketer. She represents a country, where the men cricketers are worshipped like god, and catches media attention even after a meager win against minnows. On the contrary, when our women cricket team beats England in their backyard, the news is only mentioned in a corner of the sports page.
I am glad to see Jhulan appearing in the front page of the newspapers. She may lack the glam factor like over-hyped Sania, but she's fast, furious, and an ultimate champion.
Chak de Jhulan!
