Will Jemimah Rodrigues be fit in time for Women’s World Cup 2025?

All Indian fans and the team management will be hoping that Jemimah Rodrigues, who has been ruled out of the Australia series due to a fever, recovers quickly and is fit in time for the World Cup. The tournament starts on September 30, with India facing Sri Lanka in Guwahati, and she is expected to be ready by then.

Jemimah has been in outstanding form in ODIs this year. In 2024, she managed just one half-century in 12 innings. But in 2025, her performance has been remarkable, with two centuries, one fifty, three scores of 40+, and one score of 30+ in her last 10 innings.
