New Delhi, Nov 4 (NationPress) Jemimah, the celebrated cricketer from India who brought home the World Cup, enthusiastically replied to Sunil Gavaskar’s earlier message. Gavaskar had mentioned his desire to join her in a sing-along if India clinched the World Cup, prompting her to declare that she is ready with her guitar for an impromptu jam session with the cricketing icon.
Before the World Cup final against South Africa, Gavaskar had shared during a discussion with India Today that he would love to sing alongside Jemimah, with her strumming the guitar, should India emerge victorious.
“If India wins the World Cup, she and I—if she’s agreeable—will perform a song together. She’ll have her guitar, and I’ll sing along,” Gavaskar had stated.
In a heartfelt video message directed to the legendary commentator, Jemimah expressed, “Hi Sunil Gavaskar sir, I caught your message about singing together if India wins the World Cup. I’m all set with my guitar; I hope you’re ready with your mic. Lots of love, sir. Thank you for all your support.”
India triumphed over the Proteas by 52 runs on Sunday night, marking their inaugural victory as World Champions, with Harmanpreet Kaur & Co. lifting their first-ever ICC title.
Celebrating their exceptional performance, Gavaskar posted a video on his Instagram, stating, “What an incredible experience it was at the D.Y. Patil Stadium yesterday when Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Indian women’s team, took the decisive catch for India to secure the ICC Women’s World Cup. What a moment it was! Truly magnificent.”
“It was fantastic to witness the girls' determination. They bounced back after a challenging league stage, and the captain displayed remarkable character and resolve to win the World Cup. This is a moment to treasure, to hold dear, and to remember for generations.”
“It marks an extraordinary chapter in the annals of Indian cricket, both men’s and women’s. Congratulations to Harmanpreet Kaur and her team for delivering us immense joy and happiness. The entire cricketing fraternity is immensely proud of you. Well done, congratulations,” he concluded.
