India is known for its rich cricket heritage. Indian men’s team is one of the most popular teams in the world. However, Indian women’s cricket hasn’t enjoyed the same amount of popularity of support. There have been many women cricketers whose sacrifice and performances have not been praised enough. One of those players is Jhulan Goswami.

 Talking about Chakda Xpress, Anushka Sharma said in a statement, “It is a really special film because it is essentially a story of tremendous sacrifice. Chakda Xpress is inspired by the life and times of former Indian captain Jhulan Goswami and it will be an eye-opener into the world of women’s cricket. At a time when Jhulan decided to become a cricketer and make her country proud on the global stage, it was very tough for women to even think of playing the sport. This film is a dramatic retelling of several instances that shaped her life and also women’s cricket.”

She added, “As a cricketing nation, we have to give our women cricketers their due. Jhulan’s story is truly an underdog story in the history of cricket in India and the film is our celebration of her spirit.”

This will mark Anushka Sharma’s first appearance in a Bollywood movie since 2018 where she starred alongside Shahrukh Kha and Katrina Kaif in Zero.

Highlights:

• Anushka Sharma starring Chakda Xpress teaser released on Thursday.

• Anushka plays Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami in a biopic.
