Wiki/Biography

Trisha Reddy ^[1]The Indian Express, also known as Gongadi V Trisha, was born on Thursday, 15 December 2005 (age 17 years; as of 2022) in Badrachalam, Telangana. Her zodiac sign is Sagittarius. When Trisha was born, her father who was once a hockey player, asked her mother to show Trisha cricket matches on television instead of cartoons as she grows a little older. She was nurtured to play cricket from the age of two and a half when her father began training her with a plastic ball and bat. When Trisha turned 5, her father started taking her to the gym along with him, where he would bowl more than 300 throwdowns to her. After a while, Trisha’s father got a cement pitch installed at a local ground in Badrachalam, where Trisha practised for long hours under the guidance of her father. As there were no cricket academies in their hometown, her father decided to shift to Secunderabad from Bhadrachalam to provide Trisha with adequate facilities for her training and development; Trisha’s father gave up his job and sold his gym to a relative for less than half the price to shift to Secunderabad. Once, while Trisha was practising batting in the nets in Secunderabad, her father recorded a video of her and showed it to John Manoj and Srinivas, the coaches of St. John’s Cricket Academy in Hyderabad. Impressed by her performance, coach John Manoj asked Trisha to join St. John’s Cricket Academy, where she was trained under coach Srinivasan. To support her training, her father sold four acres of his farmland in Badrachalam, Telangana. Later, she was trained at former Indian coach R. Sridhar’s academy. As of 2023, she is pursuing her class 12. ^[2]Deccan Chronicle
