India's Jemimah Rodrigues during the fifth T20I against South Africa in Cape Town recently 

Bandra girl Jemimah Rodrigues, 17, has credited India cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar for her successful debut with the Indian women's team recently. Though Jemimah did not get a chance to play in the three-match ODI series, she made full use of the opportunities she got in India's 3-1 T20I series win. Besides her batting, it was her fielding that people took notice of — especially her stunning air-borne catch on the boundary line to dismiss South Africa's Marizanne Kapp in the fifth T20I. Jemimah said a chance meeting with Tendulkar at his Bandra residence before the South Africa tour gave her a lot of confidence ahead of her maiden international outing.
