Record breaking Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami gets commemorative stamp

Jhulan Goswami of India is now on postage stamps after reaching 200 ODI wickets.
India has found a way to commemorate their women's cricket stars in a way that will stick.
After Jhulan Goswami became the first woman to reach 200 ODI wickets, the country produced a commemorative postage stamp featuring Goswami's to mark the occasion.
The 35-year-old is pictured on her Indian colours on the stamp, alongside a photo of the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata.

Goswami was the international women's player of the year in 2007, and moved to 200 ODI wickets in February.
Perhaps something similar could happen with New Zealand's stars.
Suzie Bates needs just 154 Twenty20 runs to hold the record margin in the format, although she's battling Stafanie Taylor of the West Indies in trying to surpass the mark set by England's Charlotte Edwards.
Could she soon be gracing our bills and letters?
