Six-day ‘challenge’ has women basking in new-found stardom


Lea Tahuhu, the 28-year-old fast bowler for the New Zealand women’s cricket team, isn’t quite used to being mobbed by selfie-seeking fans. But a day after the Women’s T20 Challenge in Jaipur ended, she—along with compatriots Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine—were surrounded by a horde of fans at the Jaipur airport. With Goswami, the highest wicket-taker in Women’s ODIs, and Mansi Joshi, a relative newcomer to the Indian team, Tahuhu developed a knuckle ball. This will really help women’s cricket grow.”In turn, India’s 21-year-old wicket-keeper Taniya Bhatia, absorbed lessons from Atapattu. “I worked on my mistakes at the nets back home and then applied myself during the Women’s T20 Challenge,”Rodrigues said.
