Despite the presence of stalwarts like Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, the 19-year-old impressed the most for Team India in this tournament.
The Indian cricket team could not fulfill its dream of winning the title even in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. She was eliminated from the tournament after losing to Australia in the semi-finals. Only a few Indian players impressed in this entire tournament and Richa Ghosh, who has now got a place in the list of Player of the Tournament, was the most effective. (AFP)
Before the final between South Africa and Australia on Sunday 26 February, the ICC released a short list of 9 players for the selection of the best player of the tournament, in which Richa Ghosh is the only Indian. (AFP)
In the tournament, 19-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Richa shone as a finisher with the bat. During this, he played innings of more than 40 runs twice. In this, his innings of 47 not out against England brought the Indian team close to victory. (AFP)
Richa scored 136 runs at an average of 68, remaining unbeaten twice in five innings in the tournament. During this, his strike rate was 130. He also impressed with his work behind the wicket. Richa made England opener Danny Wyatt walk by taking a brilliant catch. However, she could not do much with the bat in the semi-finals and even in keeping. (AFP)
Players from Australia dominate the list, which includes three from the defending champions, two from England and two from South Africa. One player each from India and West Indies is a part of it. Australia captain Meg Lanning (139 runs at 69.50), wicket-keeper batsman Alyssa Healy (171 runs at 57) and all-rounder Ash Gardner (81 runs and nine wickets) figure in the list. (AFP)
At the same time, apart from England’s Nate Siever-Brunt (216 runs, average 72) and Sophie Eccleston (4.15 runs per over and 11 wickets), South Africa’s Laura Woolwart (in photo) and Tajmin Brits are named. West Indies captain Hayley Mathews is also included in this list, Mathews made a brilliant all-round performance by scoring 130 runs and taking four wickets. (AFP)
