After his game-winning innings against Australia, Titas Sadhu remembers Jhulan Goswami’s instruction to “just bowl fast.”

At the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, during the first Twenty20 International between India and Australia, young bowler Titas Sadhu was instrumental in the victory for the hosts by nine wickets. The rookie showed off her skills, finishing with fantastic 4/11 statistics and taking home the Player of the Match trophy. Sadhu recounted her interaction with renowned pacer Jhulan Goswami after she bowled her finest stint to date.

Goswami, according to Sadhu, has played a big role in her life, and she heeds his instruction to focus on “just bowling fast.” Significantly, following Goswami’s 5/11 against Australia in March 2012, Sadhu’s session against the Aussies marked the first time an Indian bowler has claimed four or more wickets.

“Let me tell you something. Jhulan Goswami di instructed me to “stop thinking about everything else and just bowl fast” during our first conversation.

Because bowling quickly is a must for fast bowlers, and I believe it has been crucial,” Titas Sadhu remarked following the game.

Jhulan Goswami Goswami has played a significant role in my life since we first met when I was thirteen years old and have remained in my life ever since. She currently plays for the Bengal team in Delhi, which I will most likely join after everything is over. Being able to work with her is an amazing opportunity that not many people get to experience. What is the number of players who have represented India in over 100 matches over a 20-year period? She went on, “I’m not even twenty years old.”

The 19-year-old also expressed her disappointment at not being able to play for the Delhi Capitals in the first Women’s Premier League season following her victory for India in the U-19 World Cup.

Especially after reaching that U-19 peak to sit out the entire competition. It was difficult, and after the first few games, I realized that I probably wouldn’t have another chance until it was much too late. Wayne, our trainer, and I had this exchange. There are twenty-five players in the men’s IPL, and the best players have a two-and-a-half-month break. After the first two weeks, it really became clear that you had to make the most of every experience and chance you were given. “I simply went into every practice with the mindset that I would learn as much as possible,” the right-armer continued.

‘Today’s high might be tomorrow’s low,’ she continued, adding that sports always manage to bring people down to earth.

“Playing cricket may bring you back to your true self since it’s a really humbling game where your best moment could be your worst. You return to the ground, and the next game is the next game, and what you accomplished yesterday is gone,” she said.
