Following India’s convincing victory over the United Arab Emirates in the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 on Sunday, July 21, Jemimah Rodrigues got together with several supporters and started singing along to the hit Bollywood song “Mere Sapno Ki Rani.”
Because of her great team spirit and constant kindness towards her supporters, Rodrigues has one of the most endearing personalities in women’s cricket. Her easygoing personality also facilitates her easy connection with the fans. Rodrigues has a well-known love of singing and dancing because she has already dazzled the cricket fraternity with her abilities.
The right-handed batter had an unplanned jamming session with some teenage supporters at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla following India’s decisive 78-run victory over the UAE. Fans of the Indian batter have showered the video of this touching moment with affection on social media, complimenting her grounded demeanour.

India is on the verge of making it to the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 semifinals.
The Women in Blue defeated Pakistan, their bitter rivals, seven wickets to one to begin their Women’s Asia Cup 2024 campaign. With 35 balls remaining, Harmanpreet Kaur and team managed to knock down a meagre 109-run goal. Deepti Sharma was named Player of the Match for her outstanding bowling performance, which included 3/20 in four overs.
In the meantime, in the game’s shortest format, the seven-time champions scored more than 200 for the first time ever against the UAE. In just 20 overs, Harmanpreet and Richa Ghosh’s team reached 201/5 thanks to their explosive half-centuries. The UAE was only able to respond with 123/7. Richa’s brilliant 64* off 29 balls earned her the title of Player of the Match.
