Titas Enjoys a Spectacular Debut!:
Titas Sadhu celebrated her upcoming 19th birthday with a remarkable performance in her second international cricket match against Sri Lanka. The right-arm bowler took three wickets in just four overs, conceding only six runs. Her stellar performance not only secured a victory for the Indian women’s cricket team but also brought home the Gold medal for cricket in the Asian Games for India.
This achievement was particularly significant for the Indian women’s cricket team, considering their previous disappointments at the Commonwealth Games and the T20 World Cup earlier in the year.
Additionally, this match marked a milestone for Harmanpreet Kaur, who captained the T20I Indian women’s squad for the 100th time, becoming the second woman to achieve this feat after Australia’s Meg Lanning.
Titas Sadhu’s father, Ranadeep Sadhu, himself an athlete, expressed their family’s pride and joy over Titas’ performance and the Gold medal. However, due to Titas’ upcoming commitments with the State team and an upcoming domestic season, they had no specific plans for a birthday celebration or medal commemoration.
Titas had an impressive start to her cricket journey, growing up in a sports-oriented family with a club team and a cricket academy. She gained resilience and strength by playing alongside boys in the academy team. Indraneel Chakravarty, a BCCI umpire from the same region, highlighted her family’s support and guidance, especially her father’s role in her development.
Despite excelling academically with a 92% score in the CBSE board exam, She faced challenges in appearing for the 12th Standard Board exam for two consecutive years. Her father also mentioned her batting skills, emphasizing that she opens the batting for their academy team, hinting at a promising future in both bowling and batting for Sadhu.
