From a young age, Ritu Singh was drawn to the game of cricket, a sport not typically associated with her native United States. Born on 8th March 2006, Ritu's passion for cricket ignited when she first held a bat in her hands during a community sports day in her hometown. Inspired by the fluidity and aggression of international batting greats, Ritu began her journey on local cricket pitches, carving out a reputation for herself as a prodigious talent amongst her peers.

Ritu's remarkable rise through the ranks can be attributed to her natural ability with the bat. A right-handed batsman, she quickly became known for her elegant stroke play and the uncanny knack for timing. Her aggressive but nuanced approach at the crease caught the eyes of coaches and selectors alike. At just 15, she made her professional debut, marking the occasion with a composed half-century that announced her arrival on the big stage.

This innings, filled with sublime cover drives and deft flicks, is remembered as a masterclass in measured aggression and cemented Ritu's reputation as a clutch performer in high-pressure games.

While primarily a batsman, Ritu's right-arm offbreak deliveries have been valuable in breaking partnerships, often surprising opponents with her guile. Her contribution with the ball, though sporadic, added an extra dimension to her game, making her a versatile asset on the field.
