Jemimah Rodrigues Ready for DC Captaincy

Jemimah Rodrigues is the new captain of the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Women's Premier League (WPL) for the 2026 season.

She takes over from Meg Lanning, who was not retained by the team.

Rodrigues has learned a lot from Lanning about staying calm under pressure.

She also admires the leadership styles of her India teammates Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana.

Kaur is aggressive and leads from the front, while Mandhana is calm and tactical.

Rodrigues wants to blend these styles to find her own captaincy approach.

DC has been a strong team but has not won the finals in the past three years.

Rodrigues believes that with hard work and belief, their time to win is now.

She also expressed her willingness to captain the Indian national team in the future, highlighting her enjoyment of leadership roles.
