Earlier this year, she broke her statemate Rumeli Dhar’s 14-year record for the fastest ODI fifty by an Indian woman when she smashed a 26-ball half-century in the fourth match of a bilateral series against New Zealand in Queenstown. The knock, which included four fours and as many sixes, was the only resistance that came from the Indian camp in a rain-curtailed match that they lost by 63 runs.

Despite the heavy defeat, Mithali, the then-captain of the Indian women’s ODI team, was so impressed by Richa’s effort that she earmarked the teenager as a future match-winner. ICC@ICCRicha Ghosh brings up the fastest fifty by an Indian batter in Women's ODI

She was replaced by Taniya Bhatia for the recently concluded Birmingham Commonwealth Games (CWG). The Women in Blue badly missed a middle-order enforcer in the final once Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur got out in quick succession while chasing Australia’s 161-8.

Having experienced a low so early in her career, Richa now aims to come back stronger and establish herself as a mainstay in the national team. In a recent chat with Sportskeeda from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, the Siliguri-born stumper spoke about the ups and downs of her brief international career, how she’s trying to modify her game, and her Team India and Women’s IPL ambitions. Here are the excerpts: Q: The Indian team claimed silver in the women’s cricket competition of the recently concluded Commonwealth Games.

Richa: I was very sad after we lost the final, but I’m also proud of my teammates because they played some amazing cricket to reach the final. Everyone wants to be in the 15-member squad, but I was a bit doubtful about my selection as I couldn’t perform to my potential in the World Cup and the Sri Lanka series.

I’m working extremely hard to be a better version of myself. Q: India lost the plot in the final once the 96-run partnership between Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur was broken in the 15th over. Do you think you could’ve made a difference had you been in that middle order?

Richa: I’m working very hard to improve my keeping skills, but I don’t think I am that bad a keeper. In fact, I created a wicketkeeping record earlier this year by becoming the first Indian female wicketkeeper to affect five dismissals [against Pakistan] on World Cup debut.

I’m more focused on T20s at the moment because we’ll play the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup in a few months from now. If I perform well in the T20Is, I’m sure it will pave the way for my ODI comeback. Q: How much do the senior players support youngsters like you?

I think we need to get better at handling pressure situations, especially in the knockouts of big tournaments. Having a full-fledged Women’s IPL will give us an opportunity to play top-quality cricket with some of the best players in the world. If that happens, one doesn’t have to participate in the overseas leagues anymore.

According to reports, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are planning to build a team for the Women’s IPL… Richa: It’s good if they’ve already started planning [for the Women’s IPL]. Bengal have a lot of talented players who play at the club and district levels. If KKR can tap into this talent pool, it will give the girls an opportunity to take their game to the next level.

It would be great if they select most of their players from Bengal. Their men’s team doesn’t have any local representation. Most franchises have local players, so it’s very important to promote local talent.
