'Dard Hai, Sochna Nahi Hai': Richa Ghosh's Coach Reveals How She Played With Pain In WC Knockouts
U19 T20 World Cup: Though Bengal endured a difficult time on the field in their recent Ranji Trophy game against Tripura, bowling coach Shib Shankar Paul had his reason to be somewhat joyful – his student, wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh – was the member of the Indian team beating South Africa by 52 runs to clinch their first-ever Women’s ODI World Cup title.
"I felt really good. I mean, a student of mine has won the World Cup, and it will always feel very good. The whole of India is happy. So I am very happy that a student of mine won the World Cup," Paul told IANS in an exclusive interview.
But what Paul revealed next added another layer to Richa's heroics: she played the semi-final and final with a hairline fracture in her left-hand middle finger. Richa originally sustained the injury while keeping against New Zealand in the group stage and sat out of the washed-out fixture against Bangladesh.
