Titas Sadhu must be believing in pleasant coincidences.Else, how could she logically explain that two of the most defining spells in her short but eventful career read almost eerily similar. It was 4-0-6-2 in the ICC U-19 World Cup final against England and on Monday, playing only her second senior international match, her figures were 4-0-6-3 against Sri Lanka. A three-over first spell that literally ensured the gold medal for Indian women's cricket team."We all had a clear plan of what we had to do.
