Richa Ghosh, the Indian wicketkeeper-batter, delivered a record-equalling performance by scoring the fastest fifty in just 18 balls during the recent women's T20I series. She urged her team to maintain an aggressive approach as they gear up for the ODI series against West Indies.

The 21-year-old's impressive innings, consisting of 54 runs from 21 balls with five sixes and three fours, contributed significantly to India's total of 217 runs in the third T20I. Ghosh credits her aggressive mindset to rigorous practice sessions and her experience in leagues such as the Women's Big Bash League and Women's Premier League.

Matthews pointed out the enthusiastic fan support at DY Patil Stadium, which saw an attendance exceeding its official capacity, as a highlight of playing in India.
