The fifth-highest run scorer in the CWG 2022 tournament in Birmingham, Jemimah emerged as a key member of Team India’s successful deep-run.
In CWG 22, India claimed the first-ever women’s cricket silver medal in history, after nine runs defeat in the final against Australia.
She had previously suffered a wrist injury when playing Barbados in a league stage match, and for a brief period, she switched to hockey after her exclusion from team India due to her poor form.
She also participated in “The Hundred” for the Northern Superchargers team in England, and in “WBBL” for Melbourne Renegades Women.
During her 58 T20I appearances for India, Jemimah has averaged an amazing 29.6 with seven half-centuries. For India, she has also participated in 21 ODI matches.
