Jemimah Rodrigues, who is one of the mainstays of the Indian women's cricket team, cannot wait to get back to the field.
Countries such as Australia and England organised T20 tournaments for women to develop the game and Rodrigues believes the same will happen in India if there's a women's IPL.
Rodrigues wants her fans to begin Sunday with a little bit of music and hence released a video of her singing Chand sa roshan chera.
Like most other cricketers, Mandhana too had a fan interaction on Twitter on Friday following a request made to her by her fan on the previous evening. During the interaction, one of her fans asked if she was missing Jemimah, with whom she shares a great camaraderie.
Jemimah Rodrigues danced to the tune of a Bollywood song alongside an off-duty security personnel ahead of India's match against New Zealand.
Jemimah Rodrigues recently posted a picture on Instagram of her with Selman aged 13 and, six years on, the pair are playing at the Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.
India will begin their campaign in the women's T20 World Cup against Australia on February 21.
India and Australia will be meeting in Sydney on February 21 coming off the tri-nation T20I series final on Wednesday, which Australia won.
India will be travelling early to Australia to play a tri-nation series along with the host nation and England before the main event.
Besides Rodrigues, young Shafali Verma also made significant progress in the just-released T20I Player Rankings, after playing stellar roles in a stunning 5-0 series sweep over the West Indies.
Batting first, West Indies were restricted to a measly total of 59/9 in their designated 20 overs and India chased it down in the 17th over with 7 wickets in hand.
India rode on a brilliant 141-run opening stand between Mandhana (74) and Rodrigues (69) to chase down the 195-run target with 47 balls to spare at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
Priya Punia and Jeminah Rodrigues scored fifties as India beat South Africa by 8 wickets in the first women's ODI at Vadodara.
On Sunday, Rodrigues uploaded a small video on her Twitter handle in which she, alongside Deol, can be seen singing a rap song for their T20I skipper.
The WBBL is likely to clash with India's tour of the West Indies, leaving the players with a very limited window towards the end of what will be the fifth season of the WBBL.
The 21-year-old Deepti Sharma holds the second position in the ICC WODI all-rounder rankings.
Jemimah Rodrigues, who made her international debut in February last year, will join Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur who are also set to feature in the tournament once again.
Sent into bat in their must-win match, the Supernovas scored 142 for 3, thanks to 18-year-old Rodrigues' 48-ball 77 not out and then restricted Velocity to 130 for 3 to win the final round-robin league match of the tournament.
Rodrigues's 132 runs in the three-match series against New Zealand have lifted her to second position while Mandhana has gained four spots after finishing as the leading run-getter in the New Zealand series.
A solid knock was expected from Mithali on her 200th ODI but she ended up with nine off 28 balls.
