The skipper who turned 37 today achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the first woman cricketer to complete 20 years in the international cricket earlier in October. Meanwhile, Taapsee, on her work front was last seen alongside Bhumi Pednekar in 'Saand Ki Aankh', a film based on the lives of India's two sharpshooters - Chandro and Prakashi Tomar, who took up shooting in their 60s.
