News India Live, Digital Desk: Indian Women’s cricket: The cricket field is not just a game of fours and sixes. It is an arena of emotions, of victory and defeat, and sometimes even of ‘revenge’. One such emotion, one such ‘revenge’ was seen last night on the Wankhede ground, when the young star of the Indian women’s cricket team, Jemimah Rodrigues, wrote a story with her bat, which will be remembered for years. It was not just a century. This was a response to the tears that had been shed over the past few years. This was a balm for the pain that he felt after being dropped from the team. It was a story of a historic victory against Australia, the world’s strongest team. That painful period…remember the time when Jemimah Rodrigues was dropped from the ODI World Cup squad due to poor form. What could be a bigger shock than this for a young player? She was broken. There were criticisms, questions were being raised on his career. But he did not give up. He quietly worked hard, worked on his game and waited for the right opportunity. And then came ‘the night of judgement’, he got the chance… and even if he got it, against whom? Australia! That ‘boss’ team of the cricket world, defeating which is like a dream for any team. Australia set a huge target of 283 runs for India, which is considered almost ‘impossible’ in women’s cricket. But that night, the 24-year-old girl came to the field thinking something else. He not only scored runs but also attacked the pride of the Australian bowlers. The pain, anger of the past years and the determination to prove herself were visible in every shot of hers. When tears celebrated the century and then that moment came… On the score of 99, Jemima sent the ball across the boundary and completed her first ODI century. As soon as he completed his century, he took off his helmet, looked towards the sky and tears welled up in his eyes. It was tears of joy, it was tears of relief, it was tears of victory. It was not just a century. That was the largest and most successful run chase against Australia in the history of women’s ODI cricket. Jemimah not only completed her revenge, but also led India to a historic victory which gave a message to the whole world that this ‘new generation’ of India is not afraid of anyone. This was the night of ‘Redemption’ for Jemimah Rodrigues. This is a story that will give courage to every person who has ever been considered ‘weak’ or ‘incompetent’. This story tells that if intentions are steel, even tears can write history.
