Goswami is among several cricket personalities who have spoken publicly during the protests, although opinions have differed.
Earlier, former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar criticised the handling of issues surrounding education and examination leaks.
His comments were widely interpreted as criticism of the government.India captain Shubman Gill also expressed support for students, stating that every citizen deserves access to education and praising young people for raising their voices peacefully.
Sachin Tendulkar also commented on the issue by recalling advice from his late father, who worked as a teacher.
Writing on social media, Tendulkar said:
"Failure is okay, cheating is not. Never take shortcuts."
His message was widely viewed as support for fairness and integrity in education.
Support for the protesters also came from several members of the cricket community, including the wives of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav, who shared messages backing students and women participating in the demonstrations.
With Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation accepted, attention is now expected to shift towards the next round of discussions between the government and protest representatives, while debate around education reforms and examination security is likely to continue.
