Jemimah Rodrigues has shown once again that she can be the reliable batter India needs in tense moments. In a pressure packed semi final, she held her nerve and proved her worth on the biggest stage.
Jemi Turns Pressure Into Power
After the early dismissal of Shafali, Jemi took control and played a brilliant knock of 127 with a strike rate of 94.78. She stayed till the last ball and finished the chase in style. Australia’s missed chances only made her more determined to see India through.
Trolled For Being an ‘Influencer’
Life has not been smooth for the Indian batter in recent years. Her active social media presence led many to label her an ‘influencer’ instead of appreciating her cricket. While stars like Rohit, Dhoni and Kohli get love for fun posts, Jemi faced constant criticism.
Emotional Post Match Confession
In the post match interview, Jemi broke down while speaking about her struggles with anxiety. She thanked God for giving her strength and said she only tried to show up and keep working even when she was dropped.
Fans Switch Fast and It Hurts Players
Her never quit attitude has now won hearts across the country. The same people who trolled her are now celebrating her success. This flip in behaviour shows how toxic fan culture can damage a player’s confidence. Support must remain even during tough times if fans want fearless cricket.
