Quotes
Jemimah Rodrigues
Indian cricketer and vice-captain of the Indian women's cricket team
“"I feel like I’m their (Bucket Hat Cult’s) brand ambassador because I talk about them wherever I go. They are a group of fans who come in and just cheer for you, and they come up with amazing chants. There was a time when we were playing a Test match at Wankhede Stadium, and you know the Aussies—they are always like the bullies. So Tahlia McGrath misfielded, and suddenly this whole group of people—and they are loud, okay?—they started chanting: ‘She can’t see the ball! She can’t see the ball! Taaliya McGrath, she can’t see the ball!; It was like the first time that people from the outside were bullying the Aussies. It was nice! I don’t know if they [the Aussies] knew them, but all we talked about during tea and lunch breaks, their chants. We would even say them in the dressing room because they are so catchy and cool. To be honest, we spoke to the Aussies later after the tournament was over, and they were like, ‘It was actually affecting us!’"”

“"Richa [Ghosh] and I were playing, so I was speaking to her constantly between overs like, ‘Richa, good shot,’ or ‘Well done,’ and ‘Do it like this.’ Alyssa Healy, from behind the stumps, goes: ‘Hey, your mommy is talking to you, go listen to her!’ And then, on the first ball of the next over, Richa hits a square cut—a bullet shot for four—then turns back and says to Healy: ‘Mommy told me to hit a four!’"”
