    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi Sep 16 (CRICKETNMORE):<\/strong> &nbsp;India woman pacer Jhulan Goswami rated men&#39;s team captain Virat Kohli the best in the business with opener Smriti Mandhana putting the men in blue firmly in the driver&#39;s seat against Australia in the upcoming ODI series starting on Sunday in Chennai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He is a phenomenal cricketer. He is the best cricketer in the world. The way he is playing and leading from the front is fantastic,&quot; said Jhulan in India Today&#39;s Mind Rocks Delhi event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jhulan, 34, is currently the leading wicket-taker in women&#39;s ODIs with 195 scalps to her name.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Virat should continue his brand of cricket,&quot; Jhulan said.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The former captain said that now even the women cricketers pay full attention to fitness as it is an integral part of the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We follow strict diet. We go to the gym on a regular basis. Cricket has changed, it&#39;s become a powerful game. You need to have strength. You need to maintain good diet,&quot; Jhulan said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;You have to contribute in every department of the game today,&quot; she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She was accompanied by the other stars from the recently concluded World Cup in England -- Smriti Mandhana and Veda Krishnamurthy, who also agreed with what Jhulan said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about the upcoming India-Australia series, Smriti said that she doesn&#39;t have any advice for the male cricketers but they should just go there and play with the flow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;They have been playing exceptional cricket for the last 4-6 months. I don&#39;t think they need our advice...they should just go with the flow, enjoy what they are doing and I&#39;m sure they will beat the Aussies,&quot; said the southpaw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Veda, who is also a good friend of her fellow Kannadiga Lokesh Rahul, sounded proud of him when asked about the opening batsman and backed him and the team to succeed in the five-match ODI series and three T20Is against the Aussies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;KL is doing exceptionally well in whatever opportunities he got to play for India. It&#39;s very unfortunate that he gets injured or falls sick more than is expected but I think he&#39;s going to come back strong and do well against the Australians,&quot; she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He has done well against them before and I think playing at home will be a huge advantage for us. Just nail and don&#39;t let the Aussies come on top.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
