After India’s women’s cricket team lifted the ICC World Cup trophy for the very first time, fans took to social media with a powerful demand — urging Netflix to finally release Chakda Xpress, the much-awaited biopic on cricket legend Jhulan Goswami, starring Anushka Sharma. Many called this the “perfect moment” to celebrate the story of a woman who helped build the foundation for India’s historic victory.
Jhulan Goswami’s Emotional Moment After India’s Victory
It was a scene that gave goosebumps to cricket fans across the country — Jhulan Goswami, one of the greatest fast bowlers in women’s cricket history, holding the World Cup trophy with teary eyes. The former Indian captain embraced skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana in a heartfelt moment that quickly went viral on social media.
For millions watching, it was poetic justice — the legend who had chased this dream for decades finally witnessing her team achieve it. Fans called it “a full-circle moment” for Jhulan, who retired in 2022 after a two-decade-long career that inspired countless young cricketers.
Fans Flood Social Media With Requests To Netflix
Soon after India’s victory, social media was abuzz with one question — “When will Chakda Xpress release?”
The film, directed by Prosit Roy and produced by Clean Slate Filmz, wrapped filming in 2023 but has yet to see a release. Fans tagged Netflix India, Anushka Sharma, and Jhulan Goswami in thousands of posts, urging the streamer to seize this perfect moment.
One user wrote, “Someone please tell Netflix — this is the time! Chakda Xpress deserves to release now when the entire nation is celebrating our women in blue!”
Another tweeted, “@NetflixIndia @AnushkaSharma — what better time than now? Let the world know Jhulan’s story. She paved the way for this victory.”
The online campaign quickly trended across platforms, echoing the collective sentiment that Jhulan’s journey must be told now — when her legacy has found its true culmination.
Chakda Xpress: The Story That Inspired A Generation
Chakda Xpress traces Jhulan Goswami’s rise from a small town in Bengal to becoming one of the fastest and most respected bowlers in women’s cricket history. The film showcases her struggles, sacrifices, and resilience in a system that often sidelined women athletes.
Anushka Sharma, who plays Jhulan, called the project one of the most important films of her career. “This is a story of pure grit, and I feel honoured to play someone who changed the face of women’s cricket in India,” she said during the film’s announcement.
Harmanpreet Kaur On Jhulan’s Lasting Legacy
Following the World Cup win, captain Harmanpreet Kaur spoke emotionally about Jhulan’s influence on her journey. “Jhulan Di has always been my biggest mentor. When I joined the team, she guided me not just in cricket but in discipline and mindset. This victory is as much hers as it is ours,” she shared.
Her words resonated deeply with fans who have long viewed Jhulan as the backbone of Indian women’s cricket — a leader, a fighter, and a trailblazer whose story deserves to be celebrated on screen.
A Perfect Time For A Legendary Story
As India basks in the glory of its historic win, the calls for Netflix to release Chakda Xpress have grown louder. For many, this is not just about a film — it’s about honouring the woman who started a revolution.
Jhulan Goswami may have hung up her boots, but her spirit continues to inspire generations. And with Chakda Xpress waiting in the wings, fans believe it’s time her story finally takes centre stage — just as her dream did on that unforgettable night in Mumbai.
