After Harmanpreet Kaur-led India's ODI World Cup 2025 win, star batter Jemimah Rodrigues reminded former captain Sunil Gavaskar of his promise to sing a duet with her. Notably, after India's semifinal win against Australia, where Jemimah played a crucial match-winning century knock, Gavaskar exclusively told Sports Tak that he would sing a duet with the 25-year-old batter if Team India won the World Cup.
So the Women in Blue lived up to Gavaskar's expectations and defeated South Africa in the summit clash to clinch the coveted trophy. Days after the win, Jemimah took to Instagram and shared a video message for Gavaskar, saying she is "ready with the guitar" for a jamming session with him.
"Hi Sunil Gavaskar sir, I saw your message. You said that if India wins the World Cup, we both will sing a song together. So I am ready with the guitar and hope that you are ready with your mic. Lots of love," Jemimah said in her video.
Sunil Gavaskar for duet
Earlier, Gavaskar had expressed his desire to sing with Jemimah if India emerged victorious in the tournament.
"If India wins the World Cup, she and I-if she's okay with it-will sing a song together. She'll have her guitar, and I'll sing along," Gavaskar had said on Sports Tak.
"We actually did that once at one of the BCCI Awards a couple of years back. There was a band playing, and we just decided to join in. She was on the guitar, and I sang with whatever voice I have. But if India wins, I'd love to do it again-if she's happy to do that, happy to do that with an old man. I'm all for it."
World Cup-winning Team India are travelling to New Delhi as they are scheduled to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence on November 5.
