From Bhandup, Mumbai, to becoming one of India’s most exciting young batting stars, Jemimah Rodrigues has blended youthful flair with remarkable composure at the crease. Born into a cricket-loving household—her father, Ivan Rodrigues, serving as her first coach—she grew up immersed in the game, even excelling in hockey for Maharashtra before finally devoting herself entirely to cricket.
Her breakthrough on the domestic circuit was nothing short of spectacular. In November 2017, she etched her name into history by smashing an unbeaten 202 off 163 balls in a One-Day match for Mumbai, becoming the second Indian woman after Smriti Mandhana to score a double century in domestic one-day cricket.
Franchise Cricket Exposure
Domestically, she represents Mumbai, while globally she has showcased her talent across franchise leagues—featuring for Yorkshire Diamonds, Northern Superchargers, Melbourne Renegades, Melbourne Stars, Delhi Capitals, Trinbago Knight Riders, and most recently, being snapped up as a platinum signing for Brisbane Heat in the WBBL 2024–25 season.
Jemimah Rodrigues International Career
Her international journey began on 12 March 2018, when she made her ODI debut against Australia. Since then, Jemimah has featured in 51 ODIs, amassing 1,457 runs at an average of 32.37 and a strike rate of 87.87, with 2 centuries and 7 fifties to her name. She has also chipped in with the ball, picking up 5 wickets with her part-time off-spin.
The defining moment of her ODI career came in January 2025, when she struck her maiden century—a sparkling 102 off 91 balls against Ireland. Statistically, her career-best 123 off 101 stands out as a testament to her ability to both anchor and dominate an innings.
The year 2025 has so far been her finest in ODIs, with 479 runs in 11 innings, including two centuries and a fifty. As she heads into her maiden ODI World Cup later this year, India will hope her rich vein of form continues on the global stage.
Jemimah Rodrigues has emerged as the spark of Indian cricket—youthful, inventive, and fearless under pressure. With 1,457 ODI runs already and many more to come, she represents the future of India’s batting lineup, carrying with her the perfect blend of flair, resilience, and inspiration for the next generation.
