The friendship between them Indiashooting stars Rodrogus vote and Richa Ghosh has long been a source of entertainment for cricket fans, but few stories are as delightful as Jemimah’s recent high-stakes skiing episode.

Jemimah Rodrigues delivers Richa Ghosh’s epic response to destroy Alyssa Healy’s sled
In a detailed account shared on the show, Jemimah explained that the exchange was a perfect display of Richa’s composure under pressure. Stopping in the middle of a tense session during India’s one-off Test Australia At Wankhede in 2023, where India won by 8 wickets, Alyssa Healy‘s attempt to patronize Richa backfired spectacularly. Jemimah spoke, “I was constantly talking to Richa, telling her what to do, and Healy was getting upset.” He finally said ‘Hey, your mom is talking, go listen to her.’
Richa didn’t say anything after that but on the next ball he cut a beautiful square for four. Then she turned to Alyssa and said, “He said my mom told me to hit four.” I was just laughing; it was the perfect comeback.” This witty response not only silenced the Australian captain but also demonstrated the strong emotional support system in the Indian dressing room. Jemimah noted that Richa’s ability to turn sledding into motivation makes her such a dangerous opponent, as she doesn’t give in to verbal volleys and instead often lets her bat do the talking with a cheeky smile to follow.

From partners to rivals: Richa and Jemimah set to clash at WPL 2026 edition
While they share a great dynamic of national blue, the beginning Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 On January 9th, it officially turned these best friends into high-profile rivals. Jemimah took on a huge new responsibility this season, stepping up as captain Delhi Capitals (DC) after the legendary departed Meg Lanning. On the other side of the fence, Richa remains the “engine” and key finisher for the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
The shift from sparring partners to opposing tactical thinking has added an interesting layer to the tournament as Jemimah now has the difficult task of creating pitches to stop the much ‘finishing’ power she usually welcomes from the non-striker side. This rivalry will be one of the most watched storylines of the season, especially as Delhi look to shed the ‘runners-up’ tag and finally get their hands on the trophy under Jemimah.
Adding to the rivalry is the fact that both players are currently at the top of their game, fresh off a successful domestic circuit. Richa, who crossed the 1000-run milestone in WT20Is with a stunning knock, is RCB’s main weapon in the death overs, while Jemimah’s tactical evolution as a leader has made DC one of the most balanced squads on paper.
