Goswami achieved this feat while playing her 153rd ODI match in the South Africa when she dismissed batsman Raisibe Ntozakhe.

Among the other records Indian women’s team recorded 16 successive victories between February 2016 and May 2017, equalling the second longest-winning streak in Women’s ODIs.

Deepti Sharma recorded the highest score by an Indian when she notched up 188 against Ireland.
