The Indian women’s cricket team has performed exceptionally well over the last few years. The senior players have played a huge role in India’s success, and even the youngsters have backed them up to perfection. Richa Ghosh is one of the rising stars present in the Indian women’s cricket team squad right now.
Ghosh is an 18-year-old wicket-keeper batter. She came into the limelight during the recently-concluded ODI series between the Indian women’s cricket team and the New Zealand women’s cricket team. In the fourth match of the series, Ghosh smashed a quickfire 29-ball 52. Unfortunately, her efforts went in vain as the New Zealand women’s cricket team won the match.
Like many young cricketers, Richa Ghosh idolized former Indian men’s cricket team captain MS Dhoni in her career. Here’s what she was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times:
“When I began watching matches of Team India, I started following MS Dhoni as I was impressed with his power-hitting abilities with the bat coupled with effective wicket-keeping behind the stumps. He is my idol.”
Richa Ghosh has played 20 international matches for the Indian women’s cricket team so far
Richa Ghosh is gaining experience at the international level. She has played seven ODIs and 13 T20Is for the Indian women’s cricket team so far. She is a wicket-keeper batter, and looking at her performance in the fourth ODI against the New Zealand women’s cricket team, one can get an idea that she is an aggressive batter.
During her knock of 52 runs, Ghosh smacked four fours and four sixes for the Women in Blue. Fans will hope that her form continues when the Indian women’s cricket team plays in the 2022 Women’s World Cup. It will be exciting to see how the Indian women’s cricket team performs at the mega event this year.
