On India’s homecoming after nine years in the four-day format, the hosts finished the day at 410/7 – their highest-ever total at home – scoring at more than four runs per over.
Both Jemimah Rodrigues and Shubha Satheesh got their Test caps on Thursday morning at the DY Patil Stadium, but their journey in the game till here couldn’t have been in starker contrast.
Jemimah, a prodigy from her days in Mumbai age-group cricket, had already played 113 times for India at the senior level in white-ball cricket. Shubha, a left-field selection to India’s Test squad after impressing in an intra-squad red-ball game last month in Bengaluru, is a relative unknown who was playing her first-ever senior international.
Jemimah, at 23, has faced enough highs and lows in her career to perhaps fill a book, while Shubha’s story is only beginning. Every time Jemimah – and her teammates – hit a boundary during the day, the broadcaster’s feed featured her face prominently as part of a brand she endorses. For Shubha, the bat face was blank without a sponsor’s sticker.
When they came together to bat on Day 1 of the one-off Test against England though, all that mattered was their compact batting technique and classical strokeplay that saw them add 115 runs, with both scoring half-centuries. After Shubha and Jemimah, it was captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Yastika Bhatia’s turn to put on a century stand. Then came a late rearguard from Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana for the 7th wicket worth 92 runs.
