In a moment that made cricket fans around the world emotional, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh and star spinner Shreyanka Patil broke down in tears after the team's loss against Delhi Capitals on March 10 (Sunday) in Women's Premier League (WPL) match. The incident transpired after RCB, needing two runs off the final ball of the match, ended up losing the contest with one run with Ghosh and Patil in the middle.
After losing the match, Ghosh and Patil broke down emotionally as tears came running down their eyes. The RCB duo was utterly gutted after failing to take the team to the promised land. Ghosh, in particular, was heartbroken as her 51-run knock from 29 balls which was embellished with four fours and three sixes went in vain.
In a heartwarming moment that witnessed sportsmanship come to the fore, the Delhi Capitals players were seen embracing and comforting Ghosh and Patil on the field.
