Virat Kohli gave a special shout-out to Jemimah Rodrigues after India reached the Women’s World Cup 2025 final. The Indian star batter praised Jemimah for her brilliant 127, which was key to India’s historic run chase against Australia. India successfully reached the target of 339 runs with five wickets left.

The former India captain expressed his admiration on X (formerly Twitter) for Harmanpreet Kaur’s team after their memorable win, also applauding Jemimah for her standout performance.

“What a victory by our team over a mighty opponent like Australia. A great chase by the girls and a standout performance by Jemimah in a big game. A true display of resilience, belief, and passion. Well done, Team India,” he posted.

The victory over Australia was significant. Earlier in the group stages, the Alyssa Healy-led side had triumphed over India, successfully chasing down 331 in Vizag.

Shafali Verma (10) and Smriti Mandhana (24) were dismissed early. But Jemimah Rodrigues, displaying maturity, and Harmanpreet Kaur masterminded a chase.

A brilliant 167-run partnership for the third wicket, the highest India has ever managed in a World Cup knockout, completely shifted the momentum of the match.
