Jemimah Rodrigues became a national hero after her unbeaten 127 led India to victory over Australia and into the Women’s ODI World Cup final. The 24-year-old star’s stunning innings came just a year after she faced a major setback when her gymkhana membership was revoked over a religious controversy involving her father. Jemimah said she battled anxiety and mental struggles before her comeback. “I have almost cried every day through this tour. God took care of everything,” she said after being named Player of the Match. India will face the winner of the second semifinal in Sunday’s final. (PC: X)
