India registered a commanding 24-run victory over England in the second T20I of their five-match series at the County Ground in Bristol on Tuesday. With this convincing win, India moved into a dominant 2-0 position in the series, placing them just one step away from securing the overall title. Amanjot Kaur, the star of the match, delivered a complete performance, excelling with both bat and ball to steer the Indian side to a notable victory.
The early part of the Indian innings seemed shaky, but Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur stepped in to stabilize the batting lineup. Both players played aggressive yet controlled cricket, notching up impressive half-centuries that lifted India’s score to a competitive total. The bowlers then ensured that England’s pursuit remained off track, despite a valiant innings from Tammy Beaumont, who managed a quickfire fifty. India’s bowling unit applied consistent pressure and effectively defended their total to secure the win.
With these two emerging cricketing stars—Rodrigues and Kaur—taking center stage, fans are now eager to know more about their journeys and formative years.
Jemimah Rodrigues: A Rising Cricketing Force
Jemimah Rodrigues represents India on the international cricketing stage as a versatile all-rounder. A key contributor to India’s triumphs in tournaments such as the Asia Cup and Asian Games in 2022, she has become one of the most recognizable faces in women’s cricket.
Born into a Mangalorean Christian household, she was raised in the Bhandup suburb of Mumbai alongside her brothers, Enoch and Eli. Her sporting journey began remarkably early—at just four years old, she started playing cricket. Recognizing her potential, her family relocated to Bandra West to ensure she had access to superior training resources. Her father, Ivan Rodrigues, who served as a junior-level cricket coach, played a major role in nurturing her cricketing instincts, especially by encouraging her to bowl regularly to her siblings.
According to a report by ESPN Cric Info, Jemimah was a multi-talented athlete during her school days, participating actively in football and basketball. She also played hockey at the national level. Her engagement in diverse sports helped her develop high levels of fitness and agility, qualities that have significantly contributed to her ability to perform under tough playing conditions.
Jemimah entered the under-19 circuit when she was just 12 and a half years old during the 2012–13 season. Her rapid growth in the sport saw her joining the senior Mumbai team only two years later. She completed her education at St. Joseph's Convent High School and later pursued higher studies at Rizvi College of Arts, Science & Commerce.
Amanjot Kaur: Punjab’s Emerging Cricket Star
Amanjot Kaur is a professional cricketer from India, currently playing for Punjab. She contributes to the team as a right-handed batter and a right-arm medium pacer. Prior to representing Punjab, she had been part of the Chandigarh team.
According to Stars Unfolded, Amanjot comes from Mohali in Punjab. Her academic journey began at APJ Smart School, and she went on to graduate from Guru Gobind Singh College for Women in Chandigarh. With a steadily growing presence in domestic and now international cricket, Amanjot’s recent performance against England has firmly placed her on the map as a formidable talent in the women’s game.
