Jemimah Rodrigues is recovering from a hamstring injury and is close to joining the Mumbai team. (Source: Alex Davidson-ICC/ICC via ) Pune is now the base for Jemimah Rodrigues, who is returning to competitive cricket after a three-month rehabilitation program for a severe right hamstring tear. The 26-year-old has joined hands with the Mumbai team to take part in the remaining matches of the Senior Women’s T20 Elite tournament. The injury dates back to August 3 when Rodrigues represented Southern Brave in a Hundred match against Welsh Fire in England.
Scans conducted at the BCCI Center of Excellence subsequently confirmed the severity of the right hamstring tear, triggering a lengthy recovery process. Buoyed by a successful rehabilitation, Rodrigues took to Instagram on October 30 to share the news with her followers. “Life Update: ICHIJO-LEGGERS WERE DECLARED FIT!!!!!!!!
After 3 months of rehab. Now I can’t wait to get started,” she wrote. What tournaments did Rodrigues miss during her recovery?
Due to the severity of the tear, Rodrigues missed several high-profile pearances between August and October. India’s white-ball home series against Zimbabwe ended without them, as did the Women’s T20 Asian Cup, played in the United Arab Emirates. The Asian Games in January also took place in her absence, highlighting the extent of cricket she had to miss.
A severe hamstring tear is one of the most challenging soft tissue injuries in terms of recovery time and the BCCI medical team monitored his rehabilitation at the Center of Excellence before clearing him. Her participation in the Senior Women’s T20 Elite in Pune now marks her first return to competitive conditions. What does Rodrigues’ return mean for India’s tour of South Africa?
With his fitness confirmed, Rodrigues is firmly in the picture for India’s multi-format tour of South Africa in December 2026, a series comprising one Test, three ODIs and three T20Is. His deployment in Pune should provide the game clarity that players want before this mission. Ironically, October 30 has a special significance in Rodrigues’ career beyond the fitness announcement.
Exactly a year earlier, on October 30, 2025, she had scored an unbeaten 127 against Australia in an ODI World Cup match at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, a knock that underlined her value in the Indian batting order. Returning to fitness on the same calendar day adds a notable footnote to what has been a difficult past few months for the batsman.
