India made history on October 30, 2025, by defeating Australia in the Women’s World Cup semi-final in a thrilling encounter. The team achieved the highest-ever run chase in women’s ODI history, hunting down 338 with nine balls remaining. Jemimah Rodrigues led the charge with a dazzling 124 runs, earning the Player of the Match title for her brilliant knock. Following the victory, Sunil Gavaskar, the cricketing icon, made a big statement.
During an interview with Sports Today, Sunil Gavaskar said that he would sing a song with Jemimah if India win the World Cup. He also remembered their fun-filled performance at the Naman Awards 2024.
“If India wins the World Cup, Jemimah and I, if she’s up for it, will sing a song together. She’ll play the guitar, and I’ll sing along,” Gavaskar said.
“We actually did something like that at one of the BCCI awards. There was a band playing, and we just jumped in. She had the guitar, and I sang with whatever voice I’ve got. But if India wins, I’d love to do it again if she’s willing to do it. I’m all for it,” he added.
If someone had told me that one day I’d be singing with Sunil Gavaskar sir on stage I’d say no way! But IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED 😭🩵
