India’s World Cup star Richa Ghosh received a hero’s welcome in her hometown Siliguri after her brilliant performance in the Women’s World Cup. She scored 235 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of 133.52, hitting 12 sixes — the most by any Indian in the tournament. Her childhood coach Tapan Kumar Bhawal said Richa’s success shows Siliguri’s sporting talent and called for an international-standard cricket stadium in the city. Currently, Siliguri has the Kanchenjunga Stadium, which hosts football and domestic cricket. Locals hope Richa’s victory will inspire better sports facilities for young players. (PC: NDTV)
