Dream come true! Rich Ghosh makes her Test debut in IND-W vs AUS-W Test

Richa Ghosh has finally made her Test debut. The attacking wicket-keeping batter has done exceedingly well in T20 cricket and has finally fulfilled the lifetime dream of any cricketer: to receive their maiden Test cap. The swashbuckling batter received her maiden Test cap from the Indian vice captain, Smriti Mandhana, as she replaced Shubha Satheesh.

A moment to savour, a moment of joy!

The smile from @13richaghosh says it all as she gets her #TeamIndia Test cap

IND-W vs AUS-W Head to Head

India women have faced Australia women 10 times in Tests. But the Aussies have won four of them while the other six have ended in draws. The last Test between the two women’s sides was a pink-ball Test in Carara in 2021. And India were in a great position to win their first Test in Australia. However, the weather played spoilsport in the four-day Test as the match ended in a draw.

Matches: 10

Australia Win: 4

India Win: 0

Draws: 6
