India’s new No. 3 batter Jemimah Rodrigues was extremely disturbed and disappointed on being dropped for the World Cup league match against England recently, revealed her childhood coach Prashant Shetty. Shetty then had a chat with Rodrigues and chalked out a three-point agenda to help her excel in her comeback game against New Zealand.

“Jemimah was very disturbed because she never expected to be dropped. It was a big setback for her, but my first words to her were, ‘if you’re dropped, you can make a comeback too.’ So, when I learnt that she would be playing [vs NZ], I gave her a three-point agenda to work on. The first point was to ensure she is well prepared for the game. The second goal was that whenever she goes to bat, approach it confidently. Even while walking on to the ground, walk with confidence.
