Jemimah Rodrigues Aims To Blend Data With On-field Instinct While Leading DC In WPL 2026
ODI World Cup: Ahead of captaining Delhi Capitals (DC) for the first time in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), Jemimah Rodrigues said she will rely on combining her usual meticulous preparation with on-field instinct as she takes charge of leading the franchise for the first time in the upcoming season starting on January 9.
Jemimah had been the vice-captain to Australia’s multiple-time World Cup-winning captain Meg Lanning when DC reached the finals of the WPL in the first three seasons. But with Meg becoming the skipper of UP Warriorz (UPW), Jemimah steps into the leadership role for DC.
Jemimah was DC’s first pick in the first-ever WPL auction and is coming with high confidence of playing a pivotal role in India’s historic Women’s ODI World Cup triumph, with her unbeaten 127 powering India to an unforgettable record chase of 339 against Australia in the semi-final at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
