Swashbuckling Indian batter Smriti Mandhana on Wednesday became the second opener of her country after Rohit Sharma to reach 2,000 runs in T20I cricket. Mandhana accomplished this landmark in her match against Barbados during the cricket tournament going on at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham. Though Mandhana's stint at the crease was cut short when she was trapped leg before wicket by Shanika Bruce for five off seven balls, she still ended her inning with this record under her belt.
Jemimah played an important role in India's thumping 100-run victory over Barbados with an immensely important knock of 56 off 46 balls, which was different in its construction from how Harmanpreet or a Shafali Verma plays. "Smriti had told me long back in the IPL [Women's T20 Challenge] in 2019 that you don't have to be a Harmanpreet Kaur or a Smriti Mandhana. You have to be a Jemimah Rodrigues. I think I have understood that role and it's helping me," Jemimah said after the match.
Jemimah Rodrigues knows her strengths well and finds no reason to change her natural game in order to ape power-hitters like skipper Harmanpreet Kaur or elegant timers of Smriti Mandhana's ilk. Jemimah played an important role in India's thumping 100-run victory opver Barbados with an immensely important knock of 56 off 46 balls, which was different in its construction from how Harmanpreet or a Shafali Verma plays.
Pacer Renuka Singh's four-wicket haul helped Team India defeat Barbados by 100 runs in the women's T20 cricket Group A match at the Commonwealth Games on Wednesday. This win helped the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side progress to the semi-finals. After posting a total of 162, India bowled out Barbados for 62. Apart from all these triumphs, one thing which grabbed everyone's attention was Renuka's inswinger to dismiss Aaliyah Alleyne. In the 5th over of Barbados' batting innings, Renuka threw an inswinger towards Alleyne, after which the batter was left completely puzzled.
