Star of the Indian women’s team Jemimah Rodrigues gave credit to Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma for her comeback, adding she was fortunate to have spoken to them after being dropped.
I Am Blessed To Have Spoken To Them: Jemimah Rodrigues
“My journey since the last Sri Lanka tour has not been smooth, it has had its ups and downs. I have spoken to Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant, they told me these moments will define your career, they told me not to take it (being dropped from the squad before the World Cup) in a negative way,” Jemimah said at the post-match press conference.
“They told me I should take up the challenge and move ahead. I am blessed to have spoken to them.”
“I have understood my game better in the four-five months, I have become calmer, I have changed though my height remains the same, joked Jemimah. “I started preparing right after I was dropped. “This inning means a lot, I was nervous initially but the late cut boundary helped me a lot in easing things up. I am back in the side after 4-5 months or maybe more than that. I was pumped up”, she added.
