When the auction ended on Monday in Mumbai, India's young Richa Ghosh was happy and proud. Royal Challengers Bengaluru had purchased this 19-year-old player for a staggering INR 1.9 million at this point.
She said that she had only one dream when she was asked about her reaction to the whole affair: Buy a flat for her parents in Kolkata.
Royal Challengers Bangalore purchased Richa for Rs 1.90 crore. In fact, Richa bagged more money than India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, making her one of the most expensive Indian players at the first-ever WPL auction.
“All my parents wanted me to achieve was to play for India. I want to captain my team and win a major trophy for India. I want to buy a flat in Kolkata. I want my mother and father to settle down there. I want them to enjoy their life now. They have struggled a lot in their life, and they have worked hard a lot for me. Even now, my father does umpire. After the auction, I hope he doesn’t have to work so hard," Richa Ghosh, who hails from Siliguri, said.
