‘Mommy told me to hit you for four’: When Richa Ghosh sledged back Australia’s Alyssa Healy | Cricket News

Australia cricketers have a proud reputation for being one of the game’s best sledgers in the business. The Australian women’s team is no different, dominating teams with their cricket as well as their sass when playing. But occasionally, the Indians too have found ways to shut up the Australians with their wit. Once such incident during a Test between India and Australia was revealed by Jemimah Rodrigues in a recent interview. The tale goes that when Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh were in the middle, Rodrigues was the more talkative one, egging on Ghosh and constantly taking to her. This led Australian keeper Alyssa Healy to take a cheeky dig at Ghosh. “Richa [Ghosh] and I were playing, so I was speaking to her constantly between overs like, ‘Richa, good shot,’ or ‘Well done,’ and ‘Do it like this.’ Alyssa Healy, from behind the stumps, goes: ‘Hey, your mommy is talking to you, go listen to her!’ And then, on the first ball of the next over, Richa hits a square cut—a bullet shot for four—then …

Stressing on how clarity of her role helped unlock her big hitting game, World Cup winning sensation Richa Ghosh, said she was told her job was to finish well. “Amol sir (Head Coach Amol Muzumdar) made everyone’s role in the team very clear. For me, it was simple, play fearless cricket, look for the big shots, and finish the innings strongly. He also assured me that it was okay to take a little time to settle in. That trust he showed, believing I could pull off the big hits under pressure, helped me immensely,” Ghosh told JioStar show ‘Follow The Blues’, while speaking of her batting. Ghosh’s cameos were bigly responsible for India getting to some big totals after the late innings impetus she provided. However preparation went back far into last two years. “Before the World Cup, I really focused on spending more time at the crease and building my innings. Whenever I got the chance to play, I concentrated on playing ground shots and making sure I didn’t throw my wicket away. For …

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh opened up about how it helped to have conversations regarding the pitch with the likes of spinners Deepti Sharma and Sree Charani during the Women’s ODI World Cup final against South Africa on Sunday. Deepti had unarguably the best bowling spell of the tournament, where she took 5/39 in 9.3 overs and was supported by Charani, who took 1/48 in her nine overs. “I think the spinners that we have, whether it is Deepti or Charani. I ask them how the pitch is reacting and what is happening. It helps me and them as well. When I am keeping, I should also know how the pitch is reacting. I think that helps both of them. We talked about which ball would be good. I think that helped us a lot today,” Ghosh told reporters after the final on Sunday.

Batting on 61 off 29, in the middle of the 16th over, Richa Ghosh took count of the fielding changes, then took a couple of deep breaths, calming herself down. Next ball, as Chinelle Henry strayed down the leg side, Ghosh just casually flicked the ball, and deposited it over the fence. RCB’s hopes of staying alive depended on her capable shoulders carrying the load of a mega run-chase. Next over, however, when Deepti Sharma bowled one in her arc, her eyes lit up and she went for another big heave over midwicket. But, this time, Henry was waiting. In a tournament where their catching was forgettable for the most part, the West Indies allrounder grabbed the ball cleanly and fell on her back, arms spread across in joy – and relief. Even though Sneh Rana smashed the first five balls she faced for two fours and three sixes in a stunning cameo to give her side hope, RCB’s tournament effectively ended when Ghosh’s knock came to an end. UP Warriorz scored the highest Women’s …
