Wicket-keepers

Richa Ghosh- India

There were a lot of expectations from Richa Ghosh to deliver the good for team India, however, she failed miserably both with the bat and behind the stumps. Her dodgy keeping ensured India was sloppy in the field. With the bat too, Ghosh just managed to score 19 runs in 4 innings.
