Captain Harmanpreet Kaur has already said how everything became “stable and smooth” within the team once Amol Muzumdar took over as the head coach of India Women. Now Richa Ghosh has echoed her skipper, thanking the coach for giving her role clarity.
“Amol Sir made everyone’s role in the team very clear. For me, it was to play fearless cricket, look for the big shots and finish the innings strongly,” Richa, speaking on JioHotstar, said.
Adding that Muzumdar’s reassurance to “take time to settle in” gave her the confidence, the keeper-batter further said: “My main job was to finish the 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.
Scoring those extra runs reduces the pressure on our team,” she said.
