India’s best at No.3, Jemimah Rodrigues, needs an impactful innings

India’s best at No.3, Jemimah Rodrigues, needs an impactful innings

Published by Webster

Everything has clicked for India so far at the T20 World Cup. Two wins from two games, a commanding net run-rate and several players already finding top gear have made for an ideal start to their campaign. Smriti Mandhana has been India’s most reliable batter, Deepti Sharma their most influential bowler, while Richa Ghosh and Sree Charani have excelled in supporting roles.But beneath the positive results lies a subplot India will be eager to resolve. Their No.3, Jemimah Rodrigues, is yet to leave her mark on the tournament. The right-hander, who has been reinstated to No.3 after being pushed down during the England series, has had a quiet start to the World Cup. While she played a brisk knock of 19 against the Netherlands after the openers had put on 115 runs, it was her stay against Pakistan that raised a few questions. Shafali’s early dismissal meant India needed some rebuilding, with caution and aggression in equal measure. Mandhana, with her strong off-side play, was expected to provide the aggression, while Rodrigues had to rotate …

key to India’s T20 World Cup hopes

key to India’s T20 World Cup hopes

Published by Webster

When India last travelled to England for a major global event, they returned heartbroken but transformed. Harmanpreet Kaur’s unforgettable 171 against Australia in the semifinal and a runners-up finish at the 2017 ODI World Cup ignited a surge in interest, which gave a big boost to women’s cricket in the country. Since 2017, India has reached two Women’s T20 World Cup semifinals and a final, establishing themselves as consistent contenders on the biggest stage. What has eluded them, though, is the final step. As another T20 World Cup begins, India’s hopes will inevitably rest on familiar names such as Harmanpreet, Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues. But if they are to convert years of promise into a maiden title, the decisive contributions may have to come from three players who don’t always dominate the headlines.

Published by Webster

India began their three-match women’s T20I series against England with a commanding 38-run victory in Chelmsford, powered by half-centuries from Jemimah Rodrigues and Yastika Bhatia, followed by an impressive debut bowling performance from Nandani Sharma. Batting first, India recovered brilliantly after being reduced to 7 for 2 in the opening over. England pacer Lauren Bell dismissed both Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma to put the visitors under pressure. However, Bhatia and Rodrigues rebuilt the innings with a match-defining 126-run partnership for the third wicket. Playing her first T20I in two years after recovering from knee surgery, Bhatia struck 54 off 40 deliveries for her maiden T20I fifty, while Rodrigues continued her excellent form with a composed 69 off 40 balls. Late contributions from Deepti Sharma and Arundhati Reddy helped India post 188 for 7. Nandani’s dream debut seals victory England’s chase was anchored by Amy Jones, who scored 67 from 48 balls after being promoted to No. 3. She shared a 64-run partnership with Heather Knight, but lacked support from the rest of the batting …

Deepti Sharma stars with bat and ball as India beat South Africa by 14 runs in 4th T20I

Published by Webster

An outstanding all-round performance from Deepti Sharma powered India to a 14-run victory over South Africa women’s national cricket team in the fourth T20I in Johannesburg on Saturday. Despite the win, India trail 1-3 in the five-match series, with the hosts having already secured the series. Deepti marked her return to form with an unbeaten 36 off 26 balls and followed it up with a five-wicket haul to seal the result. After being put in to bat, India lost early wickets but recovered through a steady partnership between Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur. Rodrigues top-scored with 43 off 29 deliveries, while Harmanpreet contributed 22, helping India cross the 100-run mark. A middle-order wobble saw India slip to 120/5, but Deepti and Richa Ghosh provided a late surge. The pair stitched together a 65-run unbeaten stand, with Richa scoring a quick 34 off 18 balls, taking India to a competitive 185/5 in 20 overs. In response, South Africa started steadily, led by Sune Luus, who made 40. However, regular breakthroughs halted their momentum. Deepti triggered …

Jemimah Rodrigues: Challenges push me out of my comfort zone

Jemimah Rodrigues: Challenges push me out of my comfort zone

Published by Parlour News

For cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues, success today is no longer defined by runs or trophies, but by the peace that comes from giving her all. The shift in perspective comes months after India’s historic ICC Women’s ODI World Cup win last November, a moment that changed life for the 25-year-old cricketer in more ways than one. Jemimah Rodrigues: Challenges push me out of my comfort zone “When I was starting, I used to think success is all about scoring runs and getting trophies. But with time, I’ve understood that success is realising you did whatever it took, irrespective of the results,” she shares. “I understood that success is coming back home, and accepting you did your best, irrespective of the outcome. And that gives me the peace to sleep like a baby at night. I think that’s the biggest success for me,” Jeminah explains. The middle-order batter, who recently joined promotional activities for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, adds that her idea of success has evolved through challenges and self-reflection over the years. “I think I …

Story behind why Jemimah Rodrigues was dropped, before scoring arguably India’s greatest innings in a WC chase, for men or women

Published by Webster

2 min readMar 16, 2026 01:25 PM IST Jemimah Rodrigues played arguably India’s greatest knock ever in a World Cup chase, when her 127 off 134 helped India hunt down 339 made by the mighty Australia in Navi Mumbai. While India went on to register its biggest 50-over triumph of 2025 subsequently on November 2nd, and win their inaugural World Cup, the background to the knock added gravitas to the bombastic celebrations of an inning that followed. Batting alongside Rodrigues was captain Harmanpreet Kaur in a 167-run partnership. And on a night when BCCI honoured its top performers, Harman credited Jemimah entirely for how she had picked herself from the slump and gone on to play one of the all-time great knocks against Australia, when chasing. “That was a very hard call,” Harman recalled to Harsha Bhogle at the BCCI awards on Sunday, explaining the rationale to drop her premier batter, who as it turned out, kept India alive. “We had 4-5 batters, and one batter was under-confident,” she said of Jemimah’s lean run of …

India trail by 20 runs at stumps on day 2 of Women’s Test against Australia

Published by Webster

India finished Day 2 of the one-off women’s Test in Perth in a difficult position, reaching 105 for six in their second innings and still trailing Australia by 20 runs. Australia had earlier posted 323 in their first innings to secure a 125-run lead, largely thanks to a century from Annabel Sutherland. The all-rounder scored 129 from 171 deliveries after the hosts resumed the day at 96 for three. Sutherland shared a crucial 128-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Ellyse Perry, who contributed 76. She later added another important stand with Beth Mooney before being dismissed while attempting to accelerate the scoring. Contributions from Alana King and Lucy Hamilton helped Australia push their total past 300. Middle order collapse hurts India India’s second innings began poorly when Smriti Mandhana was bowled by Darcie Brown early in the innings. The visitors struggled to build momentum as wickets continued to fall. Sutherland struck twice with the ball, dismissing captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues. Lucy Hamilton then removed Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh in quick succession, …

Royal Challengers Bengaluru lift second title

Royal Challengers Bengaluru lift second title

Published by Webster

It was a fourth consecutive heartbreak for Delhi Capitals as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru registered a six-wicket win to lift the 2026 Women’s Premier League title at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Thursday. Rubbing further salt on the wounds of the Capitals, it was Radha Yadav – who had finished runners-up in the previous three editions with them – who hit the winning runs to guide the Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their second title win. Smriti Mandhana’s decision to bowl first in a high stakes match seemed to have backfired as the Delhi Capitals posted a massive 203/4 in the first innings. Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues was the star of the show with a 37-ball 57, while Chinelle Henry shone with an explosive 15-ball 35 lower down the order to push the total beyond the 200-run mark. Laura Wolvaardt (44) also played a vital role, stitching a 76-run stand with Rodrigues for the third wicket. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru did not have the best of starts to the chase, as Grace Harris (9) fell cheaply …
