U19 star: Gongadi Trisha, a star in the India U19 team, was forced to watch cricket matches rather than cartoons and was encouraged to play cricket as early as age seven. When the Indian women’s team won the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2023’s inaugural tournament on January 29, they wrote history. With seven wickets and six overs remaining, they overcame England in a lopsided contest to win the title.
When following Trisha’s path, it became clear that her father, Gongadi Reddy, took a highly dangerous step by selling their gym and giving up his position as a fitness instructor at a gym in order to ensure that her daughter competes at the top level in cricket. Trisha and her family relocated from Bhadrachalam to Secunderabad so that she may have the necessary training and development facilities.
She contributed significantly to yesterday’s triumph by forming a crucial 46-run partnership with Saumya Tiwari for the third wicket that ensured India would win the match. The father of the World Cup winner talked about his early life and the sports he enjoyed.
I participated in the state U-16 hockey team before focusing on my profession and fitness business. In an interview with The Indian Express, Reddy’s father stated, “I wanted my child to play cricket because I played both cricket and hockey.”
Trisha’s father explains, ‘I had to sell my gym to one of my relatives.’
“The father of the right-handed hitter then discussed the sacrifices he and his family had to make in order for daughter to realise her dream. She started off playing in Bhadrachalam, but we ultimately decided to move to Secunderabad so she could pursue her aspirations of playing cricket, and I had to sell my gym to a relative for a price that was more than 50% below market value. Later, I also raised money for the training by selling four acres of our farmland. Trisha’s commitment was rewarded when she helped India win the U-19 World Cup, and for such a victory, I can endure any loss,” her father said.
