Anushka Sharma, on Thursday, shared the first look teaser from her next project –Chakda Express. Anushka plays the titular role in the film based on the life of Jhulan Goswami, former captain of Indian national women's cricket team.

"It is a really special film because it is essentially a story of tremendous sacrifice. Chakda Xpress is inspired by the life and times of former Indian captain Jhulan Goswami and it will be an eye-opener into the world of women's cricket. At a time when Jhulan decided to become a cricketer and make her country proud on the global stage, it was very tough for women to even think of playing the sport. This film is a dramatic retelling of several instances that shaped her life and also women's cricket," Anushka wrote in Instagram.
