The 25-year-old fast bowler has revealed Indian speedster Jhulan Goswami as her inspiration behind becoming a cricketer. Kainat, who is one of the most exciting young all-rounders in women’s cricket, is a huge admirer of Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami.
Mayank revealed that she was a ball picker at that time when she saw Jhulan Goswami who was fastest women bowler at that time. When archrivals Pakistan and India clash on the cricket pitch, it is no secret all other sporting rivalries in the world take the backseat, but out of these moments emerge some of the most heartwarming instances of the true spirit of the game. I saw @jhulangoswami. The fastest bowler of that time. The sight of Goswami in action impressed Imtiaz so much that she made a decision to take up cricket as a profession, and specialise in fast bowling.
