[Saba Sports News] Indian cricket star Suryakumar Yadav expressed his support on Instagram for Richa Ghosh following her team, Royal Challengers Bangalore women’s, narrow defeat to Delhi Capitals women in the WPL 2024.
Suryakumar captioned his story, “You are a star,” in support of Richa Ghosh.
Ghosh’s impressive knock of 51 runs from 29 balls wasn’t enough to secure a victory, yet it earned praise from Yadav, who lauded her as a star in his Instagram story. The match featured a competitive first innings from Delhi Capitals, setting a target of 181.
Despite a challenging chase, highlighted by contributions from Ellyse Perry and Sophie Molineux, and Ghosh’s significant innings, RCB fell short by just one run.
Post-match, RCB captain Smriti Mandhana reflected on the close contest, praising the team’s effort and maintaining a positive outlook for their upcoming matches.
“We have seen a lot of Richa in WPL and international cricket, Perry was going well, unfortunately, she got run out. The game could have gone anywhere in the last ball and good on Delhi as well to keep their nerve and win. One run does not make us a bad team. Good effort with the shorter boundary to restrict them to 180. We really believed that we could chase this down. Would tell the girls to keep their heads high and come back stronger the day after,” Mandhana stated.
