India’s Jemimah Rodrigues, ahead of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup final, received advice from Sachin Tendulkar to start afresh despite her previous remarkable performance in the semi-final against Australia. The Indian team, victorious in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, is now focused on the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup in England starting on June 12, with the final set for July 5 at Lord’s.
Jemimah shared how Sachin Tendulkar’s message through her coach helped her reset her mindset for the final game. Shafali Verma, another key player, drew motivation from her father’s encouraging words before the title clash in Navi Mumbai, urging her to give her best for the team’s success.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur reflected on the team’s strategy and her decision to entrust Shafali with the ball, leading to crucial breakthroughs. Despite the challenges faced during the final, the team’s confidence and tactical decisions, including utilizing Shafali’s bowling prowess, contributed significantly to their victory.
