5 Indian players who can take the Asia Cup by storm

4. Jemimah Rodrigues

Rodrigues has had a promising start to her career.

In a list comprising a veteran and some cricketers fairly established and acquainted with the nuances of the international scenario, Rodrigues stands out as she is one of the handful international cricketers born in the 21st century. But mistake the teen for a rookie at your own peril, as she has the match awareness and cricketing intelligence equivalent to anyone who has worn their country colors for years now.

In the fourth match of the recently concluded tri-series featuring England and Australia, she put up her name as someone to look out for in the future with a quickfire fifty opening the innings against the lethal new ball connoisseurs of Meghan Schutt and Jess Jonassen. Her strength lies in picking the gaps and relying on fluency over power, this Asia Cup she will be keen to make a name for herself by living up to the potential that was first seen when she was fast-tracked into the side.
