T20 World Cup: Apart from chasing their first-ever Women’s T20 World Cup, India will also be striving to make a rare double of winning two silverwares in the shortest format in both genders, an achievement which would be very unique in the cricketing world.

Right-handed batter Jemimah Rodrigues said the desire and passion to win the upcoming tournament was reignited in the team on seeing the Rohit Sharma-led side end a major trophy drought by winning Men’s T20 World Cup this year with a seven-run win over South Africa in the final at Barbados.

"I remember watching the men’s final. We had a Test match against South Africa, and on Day 3, we stayed up until 12 or 1:30 in the night watching the match. I remember that moment clearly. We’ve always dreamt of winning the World Cup, but seeing them win just before our World Cup made it feel so much more real.”
