India women performed brilliantly in the Women’s World Cup semi-final against Australia women. Taking on the side in the second semi-final at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on October 30, it was the performance of Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues that helped India register a five-wicket win.
The victory for the Women in Blue saw them book their ticket into the World Cup final, and with the monumental achievement, former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar took centre stage and made a heartwarming promise to Jemimah if India go on to win the World Cup.
Gavaskar opined that he would like to sing a song with Jemimah on the guitar if India wins the tournament. He talked about how they have already done it once in the BCCI awards a few years ago and revealed that he would like to recreate the moment.
"If India win the World Cup, she and I—if she's okay with it-will sing a song together. She'll have her guitar, and I'll sing along. We actually did that once at one of the BCCI awards a couple of years back. There was a band playing, and we just decided to join in. She was on the guitar, and I sang with my whatever voice I have. But if India win, I would love to do it again-if she is happy to do that, happy to do that with an old man. I am all for it,” Gavaskar said on Sports Today.
