A Dream Realized: From Bhadrachalam to World Champion
On a bright Sunday afternoon at the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur, emotions ran high as GV Ramireddy watched his daughter, G Trisha, being crowned the Player of the Tournament in the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup. It was a moment of culmination, not just for Trisha, but also for her parents, who had left behind their lives in Bhadrachalam to support her cricketing dreams in Hyderabad.
The Journey to Stardom
Trisha, now 19, has carved a remarkable path in cricket, becoming an instrumental figure in India’s back-to-back U19 World Cup victories. While she played a supporting role in the 2023 triumph, her performance in 2025 showcased her transformation into a true match-winner. With 309 runs at an average of 77.25 and a strike rate of 147.14, along with seven wickets, she led the team from the front, establishing herself as one of India’s brightest young talents.
The Numbers That Speak Volumes
- Highest run-scorer in the tournament
- First player to score a century in the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup
- Seven crucial wickets with the ball
- A strike rate of 147.14, showcasing her aggressive batting
Her fearless approach at the crease, particularly in the powerplay, made a significant difference. From a technically sound batter at 12 to a power-hitting match-winner at 19, Trisha’s evolution has been nothing short of inspiring.
Overcoming Setbacks: The WPL Snub
Despite her stunning domestic and international performances, Trisha went unsold in the recent Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction. However, instead of being disheartened, she channeled her energy into excelling in the World Cup.
“After the WPL setback, the conversation was simple: don’t chase the franchises; let them come after you. Focus on winning the World Cup for India,” said R Sridhar, former India fielding coach and Trisha’s mentor.
Her commitment to improvement was evident as she continued training rigorously at the Centre of Excellence and under the guidance of Coaching Beyond. The dedication paid off spectacularly, as she delivered match-winning performances throughout the tournament.
The Family Behind the Success
Trisha’s journey wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of her parents. Her father, GV Ramireddy, left everything behind to move to Hyderabad, ensuring she had the best opportunities to hone her skills. Her mother, G Madhavi, provided the quiet yet crucial support behind the scenes, managing everything from nutrition to mental well-being.
“The sacrifices they made are immeasurable. Her father has done everything to see this day,” Sridhar acknowledged.
What’s Next for G Trisha?
With her U19 career now behind her, Trisha has set her sights on bigger goals—earning a place in the senior Indian women’s cricket team. Her performances have already proven that she has the skills, temperament, and resilience needed to succeed at the highest level.
“I want to play for my country and win more matches,” she said with a beaming smile after lifting her second U19 World Cup trophy.
The Future Looks Bright
Trisha’s journey is a testament to hard work, perseverance, and self-belief. From being a promising young cricketer to a two-time World Cup winner, she has set the foundation for a stellar career ahead.
