Speaking to Express Rakshitha said, `The atmosphere here is very congenial and my coach is very encouraging. With the help of my coach and parents, I can succeed in this field.'
`Most of the girls fear to play cricket due to some comments but they should come forward and concentrate on goal', says Rakshitha.
Her coach Dr Manzoor Ahmed said `She is practicing under my guidance from past three years and she is very dedicated, honest and regular to practices. Within a span of short time she mastered both bowling as well as batting.
