As the Sri Lankan captain chipped one back of a length delivery beyond the off stump straight to Deepti Sharma at extra cover in her subsequent over, Sadhu secured the major wicket of Chamari Athapaththu. If Amanjot Kaur hadn’t missed a good opportunity presented by Nilakshi de Silva at backward point, the adolescent might have taken another wicket.

About Titas Sadhu
After the Covid-19 epidemic, she joined the senior Bengal team for the 2020–21 season. Even though she was just 16 years old, Bengal women’s coach Shib Shankar Paul chose her for three exhibition games after spotting her during one of the training sessions. When facing Uttarakhand, Sadhu performed horribly. Rumeli Dhar bowled the second over for Bengal after beginning the match with the new ball. She threw a wide and boundary with her first pitch. She appeared out of sorts on the field, was unable to defend her selection in the first two games, and was ultimately benched.
