Be it her classy batting or her entertaining personality, Jemimah Rodrigues has already garnered quite a fan following. In her maiden appearance in the Women’s Premier League, the young Indian batsman once again won the hearts of fans with her energetic dance moves.
Jemimah, who is playing for the Delhi Capitals in the inaugural edition, put in an eye-catching display during Sunday’s match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. He did some popular dance moves while fielding near the boundary rope. Seeing her immediate yet catchy performance, the crowd at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium went berserk for Jemimah.
During RCB’s batting in the second innings, Jemimah Rodrigues was seen matching her steps in some strange way. Bollywood tracks. She went on to mimic the popular “Floss” dance move, before indulging in some “Bhangra” steps. Fans posted a few clips of their scintillating dance performance on Twitter.
Jemimah, who also has an active social media presence, re-shared the clip from her personal handle.
A user compared Jemimah Rodrigues’ on-field antics to Virat Kohli, who is also known for “dancing during matches to entertain the spectators”.

Jemimah Rodrigues played a cameo of 22 off 15 balls in her WPL debut against RCB. Electing to bat first, Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma got Delhi off to a good start as the openers shared a 162-run partnership.
Lanning scored 72 off 43 balls, while Verma ended his innings with 84 off 45 balls. After her dismissal, Marijan Kapp and Jemimah continued to perform, taking the Capitals to a mammoth total of 223 in 20 overs.
RCB failed to get off to a great start to the chase as it lost three batsmen including skipper Smriti Mandhana during the first 10 overs. Pacer Tera Norris enjoyed a memorable outing as he picked up five wickets in the RCB middle-order. In the end, the Smriti Mandhana-led side fell 60 runs short of a huge target.
