"Kranti delivered a fierce new-ball spell that sent back Jones and Tammy Beaumont inside the first four overs," reported Cricket Times. Her ability to move the ball off the pitch while bowling accurate lines revealed England's weakness against good pace bowling, making her a rare talent.

This was a breakthrough performance by Goud, who made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka on May 11, 2025, in the final of the Tri-Nation Series. She replaced Kashvee Gautam, showing the selectors backed her for key matches.

Her good domestic form, 15 wickets at 14.40 average in the 2025 Senior Women One Day Trophy, saw Goud rise to international prominence. She registered her first WPL wicket by bowling out Meg Lanning.

India's bowling attack was effective as they reduced England to 97 for 4 early. Goud and Sneh Rana took two wickets each, while Amanjot Kaur and Shree Charani got one wicket each. England recovered with a 106-run partnership for the fifth wicket, but India's early wickets were important.

Born on August 11, 2003, Goud is part of the new generation of Indian pace bowlers changing the team's bowling approach. UP Warriorz bought her for INR 10 lakhs in the WPL auction, showing her value in domestic cricket.

India used Goud to lead the new-ball attack, moving away from their usual spin-focused approach overseas. Her pace and movement variations showed tactical thinking beyond just bowling fast. While India's bowling created the foundation for their victory, with Goud's early wickets setting up a team effort.
