Shikha Pandey has come out in support of Jemimah Rodrigues, who is getting trolled for crediting Jesus for her success in the semi-final of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.

After scoring an unbeaten 127 runs against Australia, the star batter had thanked Jesus for helping her throughout the innings.

However, when Jemimah failed to score big in the final against South Africa, where India registered a 52-run win, she faced flak on social media with several trolls attacking the Indian player for her religion.

Shikha, who plays with Jemimah at the Delhi Capitals in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), spoke against the haters.

“Just putting this out for anyone who needs to hear the obvious – Yes, Jemi is God’s favourite child and if you are envious..umm..sorry, no one can help you,” Pandey wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

She scored 24 runs off 37 balls in the finale, and her runs came at a strike rate of 64.37 before getting dismissed by Ayabonga Khaka.
