Titas Sadhu, the 19-year-old right-arm medium-pacer, came close to emulating the person she grew up admiring, Jhulan Goswami. Hailing from the same state of Bengal, Sadhu produced the second-best figures for India against Australia in WT20Is, 4-17 on Friday at DY Patil Stadium behind Goswami’s 5-11 in 2012.

Sadhu starred in India’s nine-wicket win over Australia to help India take a 1-0 lead. The player-of-the-match said: “Jhulan Goswami has been a big part of my life. I first saw her when I was 13. She has been in my constant presence. She is now in Delhi with the Bengal team, which I am supposed to join after this is done [for Senior Women’s One-Day Trophy]. Working with her is a great opportunity not a lot of people have. How many have played more than 100 matches and for 20 years? I am not even 20,” Sadhu said.
