India created history on Thursday (October 30) when they defeated Australia in the semi-final of the Women's World Cup 2025. They pulled off the highest-ever run chase in the history of the women's ODIs, chasing down 338 runs with 9 balls to spare. Jemimah Rodrigues was the star of the show in the run chase. She slammed 124 runs as she won the Player of the Match for her performance. Now, legendary Indian batter Sunil Gavaskar had made a special promise to Jemimah in case India win the final against South Africa on November 2 (Sunday) at Navi Mumbai. In an interaction with Sports Today, Sunil Gavaskar promised that if India win the Women's World Cup 2025, then he would sing a song together with Jemimah Rodrigues. He even recalled the Naman Awards 2024 night, when two actually did a performance, with Gavaskar singing and Rodrigues on the guitar. "If India win 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 said. "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 my whatever voice I have. But if India win, I would love to do it again-if she is happy to do that, happy to do that with an old man. I am all for it," he added.
