Jemimah Rodrigues Gets in Commentary
Harmanpreet did not play Thursday’s match for the Manchester team against Jemimah’s Northern Superchargers. Recently Jemimah turned up at the host broadcaster Sky Sports studio and displayed his skills on the guitar with former England batsman Mark Butcher.
“The first time Laura (Wolvaardt) and I met, we just hit it off. We started talking and we both had an interest in playing the guitar. She loves singing and missed the guitar too and we said why not jam together,” Jemimah told Butcher in a Sky Sports Cricket interview.
“I always carry my guitar, I might leave my suitcase behind but I never travel anywhere without my guitar. I have been playing the guitar for the last 3-4 years,” Jemimah added.
Watch Jemimah belt out the famous song ‘Koi kahe, kehta rahe’ from Aamir Khan’s Dil Chahta Hai in this video here…

Rodrigues picks Adam Gilchrist over MS Dhoni as favourite wicketkeeper
On the same commentary stint, former England captain Nasser Hussain asked Jemimah who her favourite wicketkeeper-batsman was and the young Indian instinctively picked Adam Gilchrist over MS Dhoni.
“My favourite wicketkeeper-batsman is Adam Gilchrist, oh sorry, no MS Dhoni. People in India will kill me,” Jemimah said laughing.
You’d think @JemiRodrigues is an #MSDhoni fan, but is she? 😉
