Women's T20 World Cup continues in UAE. Its group stage matches are over and 4 teams have also been found for the semi-finals of the tournament. From Group A where the teams of Australia and New Zealand have qualified. Whereas the teams of West Indies and South Africa have made place from Group B. Whereas the Indian team had to be eliminated from the group stage after losing to Australia and New Zealand. Despite being a strong team, Team India could not make it to the semi-finals. Therefore, BCCI is in action mode and may soon remove Harmanpreet Kaur and choose a new captain. If this happens, then two players are being considered the biggest contenders for the captaincy of Team India.

This player is a contender for captaincy

Considering the failure and age of 35 year old Harmanpreet, BCCI now wants to make some changes in Team India. Because the Women's ODI World Cup is to be organized in India next year i.e. in 2025. According to the report of Indian Express, the board can choose a new captain before this. If this happens, the first option would be the current vice-captain of Team India, Smriti Mandhana.

Mandhana is currently 28 years old and has played big tournaments like ODI World Cup and T20 World Cup. This means that along with being young, she also has experience and can lead the team for a long time. Apart from this, he is also one of the best players of the team in terms of performance. However, middle order batsman Jemimah Rodrigues is one player who is being considered a bigger contender than Mandhana.

Why is Jemima a bigger contender than Mandhana?

Although Harmanpreet Kaur's successor is Smriti Mandhana, but Jemimah Rodrigues is being considered an even bigger contender. Former player and captain Mithali Raj has also demanded to make Jemima the captain. The biggest reason behind this is that he has good bonding with the entire team. She is known for maintaining a good and light atmosphere in the team.

Jemima is often seen entertaining all the players. That is why he is liked the most. Apart from this, he is the most important batsman in the middle order after Harmanpreet. Apart from this, like Mandhana, she also has the experience of playing in big tournaments. He is also counted among the fastest players on the field. The biggest thing is that her age is only 24 years, which means she will be able to captain for a longer period than Mandhana.
