Women’s WC: Had To Drop Jemimah To Get Balance Right, Says Smriti
ODI World Cup: When India’s team sheet came after being put into bowling first by England in a crucial 2025 Women's ODI World Cup clash at the Holkar Stadium, everyone was left jaw-dropped when India’s keenly awaited tactical reshuffle resulted in Jemimah Rodrigues being left out.
In a bid to bolster the bowling attack and go in with six bowlers, something which they faced criticism before, India opted to leave out a specialist batter in Jemimah and bring in seamer Renuka Singh Thakur.
The move reflected India’s intent to strengthen their bowling and use the seamer’s inswinger to rattle England’s line-up, even though it came at the cost of sacrificing batting depth in a high-stakes encounter.
