Dharamshala (Himachal Pradesh) [India], October 31 (ANI): The Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman, Arun Dhumal, feels that Jemimah Rodrigues, with her splendid 127 (134) in the Women's World Cup semi-final against Australia , "replayed" the famous Kapil Dev innings from the 1983 World Cup against Zimbabwe.

In the pulsating semi-final at the DY Patil Stadium on Thursday, Australia blazed their way to a daunting 338, leaving India to gun down the highest run-chase in the history of the Women's World Cup. Jemimah kept India in the run chase after the hosts lost Smriti Mandhana (24) and Shafali Verma (10) in the power play. From 59/2, Jemimah took India past the finishing line. With fortune on her side, Jemimah saw her two catching opportunities go down while pursuing the 339-run target.
