India’s dashing batter Jemimah Rodrigues, 21, is not sitting back and brooding over not being selected for the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup at New Zealand in March-April. Instead, she’s busy playing her second favourite sport—hockey. Rodrigues used to play hockey for her school, St Joseph’s (Bandra), in the MSSA (Mumbai Schools Sports Association) inter-school league and thereafter represented Mumbai and Maharashtra at the U-17 level before switching over to competitive cricket for good. Rodrigues has played 21 ODIs and 50 T20Is, scoring 394 and 1055 runs respectively.
