Jemimah Rodrigues Smashes 2nd ODI Ton; Joins Elite Indian Ranks
Jemimah was really on the boil as she launched her second ODI century on bat for India in the tipsy mood of the grand final league match of the tri-series against South Africa. The stadium was cracking, and she went on to mark the occasion with a signature guitar celebration after reaching her century in just 89 balls — a moment of the utmost grandeur, passion, and pure joy.

The Mumbai batter is known to wear her heart on her sleeve; she threw all that glamour into this landmark achievement — helmet off, a flying kiss toward her dressing room, and then a little fun with that guitar strum her bat. This is the exact celebration she had pulled out for the first time in early January while scoring her maiden century against Ireland in Rajkot.
This hundred made Jemimah only the seventh Indian woman to have multiple ODI hundreds:
- Smriti Mandhana – 10
- Mithali Raj – 7
- Harmanpreet Kaur – 6
- Punam Raut – 3
- Jaya Sharma, Thirush Kamini, and now Jemimah Rodrigues – 2 each.
