One fan branded Jemimah Rodrigues a “360-degree” talent. “Wow, in real sense 360-degree,” read the comment.
Another person wrote, “A multi-talented girl. An amazing cricketer as well. Her voice soo good.”
Rodrigues is currently in South Africa to take part in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. She had made her international debut during a T20I game against South Africa in February, 2018 and played a fine knock of 27-ball 37 in that fixture.
