From 'Baby' Of Team India To Star Batter: The Story Of Jemimah Rodrigues

28.09.2024 - 12:07 sports.ndtv.com

When Jemimah Rodrigues made her international cricket debut for India as a 17-year-old against South Africa in February 2018, there were high hopes from her to continue Mumbai's rich legacy of producing exceptional batters.

Since then, Jemimah has successfully navigated through numerous challenges to establish herself as a key batter in the national set-up.

She has also become a familiar face in various T20 franchise leagues, who have grown significantly in numbers since Jemimah made her international debut.

Jemimah attributes her growth as a person on and off the field to her participation in the now-defunct Kia Super League (KSL) in England - her maiden appearance in an overseas T20 league.
