World Cup–winning Indian cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues continues to charm fans with her infectious energy, radiant smile, and flair beyond the cricket field. After playing a pivotal role in India’s triumph at the 2025 Women’s World Cup—especially with her impactful showing in the semifinal—the 25-year-old found herself at the center of another heartwarming moment.
Following India’s historic title win on November 2, 2025, Jemimah shared a special interaction with cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar. Prior to the final, Gavaskar had promised Jemimah a jamming session if India lifted the trophy—and the young star made sure he stayed true to his word.
The former India captain didn’t disappoint. In a delightful surprise, the 76-year-old presented Jemimah with a custom-made guitar shaped like a cricket bat—a one-of-a-kind “bat-ar” that perfectly fused her love for cricket and music.
Ahead of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), Jemimah took to social media to share glimpses from the memorable meeting. In the video, Gavaskar is seen handing her a bag containing the unique instrument, followed by pictures of the duo posing with it.
The highlight, however, was a clip of the two singing the iconic song Ye Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge, with Jemimah strumming her specially designed guitar.
Captioning the post, she wrote:
“Guitar ❌ Bat-ar ✅
Sunil sir kept his promise and we ended up jamming with the coolest Bat-ar ever!! This was a special one.”
Teasing fans about more to come, she added in the comments:
“This was just a trailer… A full song cover coming soon!! Right sir? @gavaskarsunilofficial”
Fans were quick to flood the post with love, praising the joyful exchange and the unique gift. While the bond between two generations of Indian cricket stood out, the innovative “bat-ar” clearly stole the spotlight.
“Woah!! Never even imagined a guitar like this—sooo good!” wrote one fan, while another commented, “Absolute camaraderie and positivity on display.”
Meanwhile, Jemimah’s journey continues on the field as well. The Women’s Premier League kicked off on January 9, 2026, with Rodrigues set to lead the Delhi Capitals as captain—adding yet another exciting chapter to her ever-evolving story, both as a cricketer and an entertainer.
