KOLKATA: Cricket happened by fluke for the country's latest pace sensation Titas Sadhu, who dished out match-winning figures of 4-0-6-2 as India shot out England for 68 on way to lifting the inaugural Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup trophy on Sunday.
Following in the footsteps of her father -- a state-level athlete -- Titas started her journey into sports as a sprinter, switched to swimming and then table tennis. But one fine day, the multi-talented girl ended up keeping scores for her ancestral cricket club, Rajendra Smriti Sangha, near Hooghly's Mohsin College in Chinsurah, about 50km north of Kolkata.
