Indian cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues has broken her silence on last year's religious conversion controversy involving her family. The incident occurred on October 24, when her Bombay Gymkhana membership was cancelled after her father was accused of misusing facilities to book a hall for religious meetings. Rodrigues firmly denied all accusations, stating her family acted within regulations and had proof. The controversy emerged after India's disappointing 2024 T20 World Cup exit, deeply affecting her emotionally. She described receiving hurtful messages about her family and church. Remarkably, exactly one year later, Rodrigues played crucial innings against New Zealand (74) and Australia (127*), helping India win their first Women's Cricket World Cup. (PC: Instagram)
