“If It’s In My Zone, I Hit It” – India Wicketkeeper Reveals Batting Mantra After World Cup Win

Richa Ghosh expressed that she loves playing attacking cricket and aims to fulfill her role as a finisher, especially after India’s World Cup triumph. Speaking to The Indian Express, she said:

“My mindset is simple. Whenever I come to bat, if the ball is in my zone, I go for my shots. Hitting a boundary or a six in a pressure situation really helps release the tension. If it’s a good delivery, I’m happy to take a single and target the next ball. That’s the method I stick to.”

“My main job was to finish innings strongly by scoring quickly in the final overs. Whenever I got the chance to bat, my focus was on applying the finishing touches. I aimed to maintain a high strike rate and put pressure on the opposition bowlers. Scoring those extra runs reduces the pressure on our team and gives us a better chance to win,” he added.
