Jemimah Rodrigues has been a proven performer for India in women’s international cricket.
She has shown incredible adaptability while batting, be it in the top or middle order. And when the team needs her, she never shies away from scripting some sensational knocks.
Remember her match-winning 127-run knock against Australia in the 2025 World Cup semi-final?
That knock showed Rodrigues’ ability to play under pressure. And perhaps this makes her a good captaincy candidate.
Spotting this trait of hers, Delhi Capitals made Rodrigues their captain in the Women’s Premier League (WPL).
Here you can look at Jemimah Rodrigues’ captaincy record in the WPL.
Jemimah Rodrigues Captaincy Record in WPL
| Team | Matches | Won | Lost | Tied | No Result | Win% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi Capitals | 5 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 40.00 |
At 25 years and 127 days, Rodrigues became the youngest captain in the WPL. She led Delhi Capitals (DC) for the first time in the 2026 season.
Rodrigues took over the reins from Meg Lanning, under whom DC qualified for three finals. Now Rodrigues has big shoes to fill.
While her captaincy stint didn’t start well, her ability to play under pressure will help her lead DC to new heights.
