Former India pacer, Jhulan Goswami is happy to join MI Women's team ahead of the Women's Premier League season (WPL). She has joined the franchise as a bowling coach and mentor and wants to continue the winning legacy that MI carries.

Apart from Goswami, the franchise has also roped in former England skipper, Charlotte Edwards, and former India all-rounder Devieka Palshikaar as head coach and batting coach respectively.

Regarded as one of the greatest bowlers of all-time, Goswami was a pivotal part of the Indian team, and took 350 international wickets in a career that spanned 20 years. She holds the record of most wickets in the history of Women's ODI cricket.
