"Please never retire"- Fans react after Jhulan Goswami's sensational opening spell in 1st ODI vs England in her farewell series 

Veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami (5-2-8-1) bowled a sensational opening spell in the first ODI of the 3-match series against England on Sunday, September 18, in Hove.

Her performance provided the Indian Women's team with a positive start in the ODI leg of the tour after they lost the T20I series last week.

Goswami has already announced that she will be bidding adieu to international cricket after the final ODI of the series at Lord's on September 24.

After India captain Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and chose to field, Goswami and Meghna Singh justified her decision with a brilliant bowling display in the powerplay. England could muster only 26/2 in the first ten overs, of which the duo bowled five overs each and scalped one wicket apiece.

The seasoned pacer looked lethal with the new ball as she troubled the English top-order batters with immaculate lines and by extracting swing.

Fans took note of Goswami's performance and heaped praise on her for performing at an elite level even at the age of 39. They also requested the legendary pacer to reconsider her decision to retire.

Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter:
