Jemimah Rodrigues' catch was a turning point in the clash against Gujarat Giants.
Jemimah Rodrigues pulled off a stunning catch at a crucial juncture in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 clash between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants on Friday. Rodrigues is known for being a live wire on the field. This was another one of her incredible moments as a fielder.
The moment occurred in the 18th over of Gujarat Giants’ run-chase. Chasing 178, Deandra Dottin had brought down the equation from 60 off 33 deliveries to just 16 off 14. Dottin, who had smashed 24 runs in just nine balls, was threatening to finish the game off quickly. Dottin slog-swept Jess Jonassen over cow corner but couldn’t quite get under it. Rodrigues sprinted in from the boundary line and took a magnificent full-stretch diving catch to send the dangerous batter back.
