Behind Jemimah Rodrigues: Behind Jemimah Rodrigues' match-winning 127 not out against Australia to help India chase down a record 339 to enter the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup final was a result of a year’s hard work and preparation, said her long-term coach Prashant Shetty.

Jemimah’s spectacular knock to edge out Australia secured India's place in the World Cup final, where they will now face South Africa at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday.

But the emotional scenes that followed - Jemimah on her knees, tears streaming down her face, and expressing gratitude with folded hands - told a deeper story of a cricketer who had worked hard, faced anxiety and heartbreak, to reach this moment, which generations of cricket fans won’t forget for a long time.
