Indian woman cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues, who is currently in England taking part in women’s The Hundred tournament with the Norther Superchargers side, gave a shot at a commentary stint with the host broadcasters of the tournament. Jemimah joined the likes of former England batsmen Nasser Hussain, Mark Butcher and Robert Key along with India’s Dinesh Karthik, who is also doing commentary duties in UK.
The Indian batter was impressive during his commentary stint, where she even tuned up on the guitar to pair up with former England southpaw Butcher. Karthik praised Rodrigues for following the ‘one’ commentary box rule on her debut.
“Never ever listen to anything @nassercricket or @robkey612 have to say #ONLYRULE,” Karthik wrote in a tweet reacting to Rodrigues’ commentary debut on Sky Cricket. The Indian women’s team star was quick to respond and trolled the wicket-keeper batsman with her cheeky response.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Interestingly enough, that's EXACTLY what they told me about anything you say,” Rodrigues replied.
