IND vs SA, Women's ODI World Cup 2025: India's star batter Jemimah Rodrigues has dismissed all the claims of the Indian batters not living up to the expectations. She rather revealed that their batting depth can keep the opponents at bay.
“We are on the right track. Yes, we’ve had small contributions from the top and middle orders. But we’ve had new match winners every time. Opponents know that we have batting till the end,” Jemimah told reporters in the pre-match press conference.
“Maybe if one doesn’t click, the other is taking responsibility. I would say that it’s scary for opponents to know that we have not had our perfect match yet and we are still on a winning streak,” she added.
The youngster also emphasized how important it was to peak at the right moment in the ongoing mega-event.
“We are still waiting for that perfect match. Such tournaments, because they are so long, it’s important to peak at the right time. We have so much more confidence knowing that till the end we have batters and everyone’s a match winner,” she said.
She also revealed that they are taking one match at a time and are working on their strengths instead of adjusting to the plans of their opponents.

“I think dealing with expectations is simple: we shouldn’t think too much about it. The more importance you give it, the more it will feel like pressure,” she said.
“We’ve always spoken about sticking to our strengths. Are we doing what we’ve planned? If we’ve done that, we are happy. If not, we’ll try and improve,” she concluded.
