Watch: Jemimah Rodrigues’ song for Delhi Capitals ahead of WPL 2023

Reframing the original ‘Dil yeh Ziddi hai’, Rodrigues sung it as: “Dil ye Dilli hai..dil ye Dilli hai…dil ye Dilli hai.”

“One thing is there, Alice Capsey knows how to sing Hindi songs…I taught her during the WBBL,” she added.

When quizzed who she is most excited to meet in the team, Rodrigues named Australia and DC skipper Meg Lanning.

When asked for a message for Smriti Mandhana, RCB’s captain and her close friend, against whom they play their first match on Sunday, Rodrigues jokingly said, “Wait..who is the captain there? I don’t know her, she is definitely not my best friend.”

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals had their first training session on Monday with their coach and players reaching Mumbai – host city of the first WPL – just a few days ahead of the tournament.

Jemimah played an important part in India’s campaign which ended with a semi final defeat against Australia.

Talking about her role as the vice-captain of the Delhi side, the 22-year-old Indian batter said, “I am going to make the most of it. She (Meg) is one of the greatest leaders we have ever seen.” India opener Shafali Verma is also part of the Capitals’ squad.

Delhi Capitals will be coached by two-time title winner in The Hundred, Jonathan Batty, while former England head coach Lisa Keightley and ex India player and selector Hemlata Kala are assistant coaches.
