‘Impact player’ Ghosh basks in the Eden warmth

No wonder then that Richa Ghosh, Bengal's only World Cup winner in cricket, was somewhat tongue-tied initially. “The medal will be displayed prominently in my home,” said Ghosh, recovering her poise at Saturday's felicitation ceremony organised by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).
One where Eden hoped she would one day become India captain. “No pressure, be yourself,” said chief minister Mamata Banerjee. The comment segued with what Ghosh - smiling, ebullient even if slightly in awe - said earlier: pressure is a privilege.
As it did with what Mithali Raj said in an audiovisual on Ghosh, born 189 days after Sourav Ganguly, then India captain and now CAB president sharing the dais with her, led his team to an underwhelming performance in the 2003 World Cup final. “Your confidence and composure under pressure,” are what stood out for her, said Raj, the former India captain.
