India\u2019s World Cup triumph on home soil last year was a landmark moment for the team and gave Rodrigues and her teammates a taste of what it takes to win an international title. The batter feels that achievement has further motivated the side to compete for more silverware.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve tasted success once, and we know what it feels like to be at the top. The more you taste it, the more you want to be there,\u201d Rodrigues said on Jio Star. \u201cOur team is working towards that, and yes, the Champions Trophy is going to be very special. It\u2019s happening for the first time ever in women\u2019s cricket, and I\u2019ll be a part of it for the first time as well, so it\u2019ll be pretty special, and I\u2019m really looking forward to it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think mindset-wise, nothing changes. At the end of the day, it\u2019s about the team and how to make the team win, and that always stays,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Before shifting their complete focus to the Champions Trophy, India will face a challenging multi-format tour of South Africa in December.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The seven-match assignment will begin with a one-off Test in Gqeberha from December 9, followed by a three-match ODI series from December 16 and three T20Is from December 26.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a really exciting series for sure. Both teams have been doing really well. We\u2019ve had a lot of rivalry lately and played a lot of matches against South Africa. I think it\u2019s going to be great, with two of the top teams in the world facing each other in South Africa. It\u2019s going to be a great challenge, and we\u2019re really looking forward to it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
