Delhi Capitals (DC)’s young batting sensation Jemimah Rodrigues (Jemimah Rodrigues) Team India’s batting superstar Virat Kohli on his game after his memorable innings in the ongoing Women’s Premier League 2024 (WPL 2024)Virat Kohli) has given a big statement regarding its impact.
Like many other Indian cricketers, she is a fan of Virat Kohli and follows him. Let us tell you, Jemimah Rodrigues displayed her extraordinary talent with the bat during Delhi Capitals (DC)’s 29-run win against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 12th game of WPL 2024 released on March 5.
I have learned this thing from Virat Kohli: Jemimah Rodrigues
He played a brilliant inning of 69 runs in just 33 balls with the help of eight fours and three sixes against Mumbai Indians (MI), and for this he was given the Player of the Match award. Rodrigues started slowly but soon picked up the pace and performed aggressively in the last five overs of his team’s innings. Rodrigues, a right-handed batsman, displayed her versatility by scoring runs around the field, and eluding the fielders while making smart shot selections.
Jemimah Rodriguez said after the match: “You need all kinds of shots when you come to the WPL, and I can’t be limited to a few shots and say, ‘That’s the kind of player I am.’ For me I need to put in a little more effort than others to hit those sixes. But I have a lot of confidence in my timing and the swing of my bat.
‘He runs well between the wickets’
I think everything went right today, I don’t try to hit sixes, I just try to hit the ball in the gap. If the ball is hit very well, it goes for a six. This is something that I have learned from Virat Kohli; He is really an expert in this. I emulate him a lot because our batting positions are similar in the Indian team.
The way Virat Kohli approaches his game, he runs well between the wickets, and has great intent while batting. Even if he hits a six, he hits it in the gap. So, if he hits it well, it’s either two runs, four or a six. This is what I try and implement in my game as well.”
