In a 10-year-long first-class career, Goswami had represented Bengal in 46 matches. After making his debut in the 1962-63 season, Goswami went on to lead the Bengal side to the final of the Ranji Trophy in the 1972-73 season. As a complete all-rounder – right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-pacer – the maestro had 1592 runs and 47 wickets under his name.
Moreover, it was football that made him the superstar he was. Goswami was the leader of the gold medal-winning team in the 1962 Asian Games and was also the skipper of the Indian team that made it to the final of the 1964 Asia Cup.
