WPL 2026: Jemimah Will Explore Another Side Of Herself As DCs Captain, Says Anjum

Although Kashvee Gautam: Former India captain Anjum Chopra believes Jemimah Rodrigues will discover another side of herself when she leads Delhi Capitals (DC) in the upcoming Womens Premier League (WPL) season, starting in Navi Mumbai on Friday. Jemimah was the vice-captain to Australias multiple-time World Cup-winning captain Meg Lanning when DC finished as runners-up in three successive WPL seasons -- 2023, 2024, and 2025. But with Meg becoming the skipper of UP Warriorz (UPW), Jemimah steps into the leadership role for DC for the first time. See, expectations will be there with the franchise also. But for me, it's about when you entrust a player with a role, they start understanding themselves in a different light altogether. So, she's captained Mumbai and been there at the helm. But now leading a franchise team is a different ballgame altogether. Now she will also explore another side of herself, not only as a batter or a fielder, but also as a captain, Anjum told IANS in an exclusive conversation on the eve of the competitions commencement. Captaincy does not happen only on the ground; it happens off the ground as well. So, you learn more about yourself, like how you're handling yourself in a situation, what you could do, and what you've done better in various manners in which you think as a batter, and a fielder, trying to be ahead of the competition, and sometimes winning a battle or not winning a battle. So, I feel it's going to be a nice growth for Jemimah Rodrigues as a cricketer because now she will be handling players like Marizanne Kapp in the lineup, who are already established cricketers, and also players who share the dressing room with her, like Shafali Verma, and Niki Prasad, who is coming through the ranks very quickly. So, it's always a nice responsibility, but what a player makes of it, and how they travel that part of the journey, is what matters, she added. Though DC have much more batting firepower, and have covered their bases in bowling, Anjum feels they are not guaranteed a smooth path to the trophy, citing the probability of the tournament being more competitive this time. I wouldn't put anybody in the finals straight away. I'll say that it should be a very keenly contested one because over the past three seasons, we saw pretty much a three-sided contest for most of the tournament. Barring the first two, three or four games, it became very evident that if teams don't get their act together, the tournament goes very quickly because you just play each other twice. But you do come face-to-face in the eliminator or in a final as well. So, it's not like the longer format of the IPL. So, if they don't step up, its an issue, she said. Like, GG stepped up last season and came up to the eliminator. Before that, in the first season, UP Warriorz managed to get to the eliminator. So, it was seemingly good. DC has always been in the final before even the last game was decided. So, that was a good sign, but in this season, I wouldn't say that anybody is reaching the final without having a contest to play. It should be a keenly contested and more closely fought WPL this season, she added. DCs fast bowling department lacks the experience of previous seasons following the absence of veteran seamer Shikha Pandey and Annabel Sutherland pulling out due to personal reasons. But Anjum explained that the presence of experienced players will help DC manage things in that department. Lucy Hamilton has been doing pretty well in Australia. I think this is her first trip to India. Plus, the variety of a left-arm seamer also helps. So, where is the challenge coming for DC - how do they get Lizelle Lee as a wicket-keeper? Because I would say Chinelle Henry and Marizanne Kapp are no-brainers in the starting line-up. But then, you also have to balance out your fast bowlers. They don't have a Shikha Pandey. So, that experience that you're talking about is not there. But again, I say it's a healthy mix because Sneh Rana comes in with that experience as well in the spin-bowling department with (N Sree) Charani. But everybody cannot play, so they will need to balance out their batting along with their all-rounders, and how it comes out as a perfect eleven for the Delhi Capitals is crucial. Remember, we have a new leader in the DC team as well. So, I'm sure they've done their homework, and it's now up to putting things together in the park, she said. Anjum signed off by saying that, apart from Charani and Gujarat Giants seam-bowling all-rounder Kashvee Gautam, she expects young Haryana batter Deeya Yadav to make an impact if given opportunities to play by DC. Although Kashvee Gautam is not an uncapped cricketer, she's already played for India. But now she'll be coming back after an injury, I'll be watching her performance keenly, looking at the T20 World Cup, and more such cricket coming up. Anjum signed off by saying that, apart from Charani and Gujarat Giants seam-bowling all-rounder Kashvee Gautam, she expects young Haryana batter Deeya Yadav to make an impact if given opportunities to play by DC. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I've heard a lot about this cricketer. So, I'll be keenly watching if Deeya Yadav gets an opportunity to play. Yes, I think she should be okay and be able to find a place in that playing eleven. It's about how they fit the four international players, which is more challenging as compared to adding Indian players, she concluded. Article Source: IANS

Pant Set To Join National Team Late After Playing VHT Match For Delhi: Report

Vijay Hazare Trophy: Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is likely to join the Indian team for the ODI series against New Zealand late, as he has decided to continue to appear for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) 2025-26, according to a news report. Pant has, the report claimed, got permission to play the last league of the Vijay Hazare Trophy in Bengaluru on January 8 and will join the national team only after that, according to a report on Cricbuzz. India will be playing the first ODI match against New Zealand at Vadodara on January 11. Pant is currently leading Delhi in the domestic 50-over competition, and his team is placed at the top of Group D with 20 points from six games. They will take on their final league fixture against Haryana and can join the national team at the latest on January 9, just two days before the first game. He (Pant) is very much here, and he will play the last game, Delhi coach Sarandeep Singh told Cricbuzz on Tuesday night. Pant has been included in the ODI squad as the second wicketkeeper. K.L. Rahul has been the first-choice keeper of the Indian team since the domestic ODI series against England in February 2025. Going by recent form, there was speculation that the selectors would pick Ishan Kishan as the second-choice wicket-keeper, but the selectors went with Pant as they felt that he had not gotten many chances in recent times. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer, the vice-captain of the team, is also likely to join the squad a bit late. Iyer returned to action in the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Mumbai on Tuesday after recovering from the injury he suffered on the Australia tour in October last year.
