Ritusha can prove to be a big threat to the opponents: Rani

Heaping praise on her young teammate Ritusha Arya, the Indian women hockey team's senior member Rani Rampal today said the youngster is currently in her best form and could prove to be a big threat to the opponents at the upcoming Commonwealth Games, starting here on July 23.
The Indian women's team forward, Ritusha is at an all time high after her 'highest goal scorer' recognition in the recently-concluded Malaysian Tour and Rani believes that she could be the key player during the competition.
"Ritusha Arya with her 15 caps has proved to be a big threat to the defence of the opponent during our tour to Malaysia as well as the recent international matches that we have played," Rani said.

"During our preparations here, she looks in form and will soon be seen in action again. She has complimented our play on the field since the day she made her debut on the international arena," added Rani, a seasoned player with 111 caps.
Ritusha was a member of the historic bronze-medal winning Indian squad at the junior women hockey World Cup at Germany last year.
Rani, who will be representing India for the second time in the Commonwealth Games, said she was confident of her team playing as a unit and finishing on the podium in the upcoming tournament.
The women's hockey team will take on Canada on July 24 in their opening match.
