The lack of a power game notwithstanding, batter says she wants to play the role given to her by the team.

I was blessed that I got to play for the Northern Superchargers. I had a good season there, and I just wanted to continue that because the more I play, the better I do and the more I learn. It also helped her acclimatise to the surfaces in England and fine-tune her game accordingly. [I'm] glad I got to play there and contribute to the team, contribute to the plan, and it worked out well for the team." I just want to apply that whenever I play for India." She is at that stage of her development as a player where the lack of a power game isn't playing on her mind because of the belief in her skillsets and what she offers to the team. In a way, returning to No. 3 was coming back to a familiar position where she has had much of her success as a batter. Even when I was preparing in the nets, with our side-arm specialist, I was prepared for both, because you never know, the team can need me anywhere and I should be ready for that. That is what I realised I don't have to be someone else; I have to be Jemimah Rodrigues to score. However, she didn't allow that to play on her mind, even though the wicket coming at the time it did, threatened to snatch a bit of momentum from India. The team has given me a role, if I can play that role, it doesn't matter how other people look at it. When they fell, Rodrigues rallied around Deepti Sharmain the lower middle order to ensure India got to 162, more than they had hoped for at one stage. Yet, she kept ticking the strike over by playing the fields expertly, apart from ensuring she ran hard to pinch runs wherever possible.

Jemimah has been going through a very patch lately, but the Indian team management will be happy that she is peaking at the right time which will allow India to have better chances to grab the prestigious CWG gold medal. India took on Barbados in the last league game of the Commonwealth Cricket Championship.

That is what I have realized I don’t have to be someone else; I have to be Jemimah Rodrigues to score. I was blessed that I got to play for the Northern Superchargers.” The knock as understandable was a different one and Jemimah after the match said, “Smriti had told me long back in the IPL (Women’s T20 Challenge) in 2019 that you don’t have to be a Harmanpreet Kaur or a Smriti Mandhana. You have to be a Jemimah Rodrigues. I think I have understood that role and it’s helping me.” Jemimah further added, “The team has given me a role. With Smriti Mandhana departing early on 5, the pressure was on India to not see a collapse and the pair of Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma with a counterattack got big over out during the powerplay. A run-out had Shafali Verma walk back, Harmanpreet Kaur too was on the verge of being run out and she then put her arm around Jemimah to calm her nerves who’d been doing all the calling. A clinical bowling performance saw India restricted Barbados for 62 and with a 100-run made their way through to the knockouts.
