The Hundred has been a blessing in my life: Jemimah Rodrigues
Jemimah Rodrigues was the second highest-run scorer in women’s The Hundred last year scoring 249 runs in 7 matches. In a recent interview, she expressed that the tournament has been a blessing in her life. She was low on confidence, but her performance in The Hundred brought it back.
“The Hundred has been a blessing in my life, honestly. Because last time I remember playing the Hundred, the previous series for me hadn’t gone really well. I was very low on confidence also. I was not sure if I would make it back to the team again,” said Jemimah Rodrigues.
“But then getting to play the Hundred and scoring and doing well. It doesn’t matter which match it is, if the batter scores run, the batter gets confidence, and the Hundred has given me that. Because in the end, it’s about confidence. And also, I am also very familiar with the conditions here (England). That also gives me a boost to come out here and do well,” she added.
