Wish I could have contributed more: Rodrigues
After the historic win in IND vs AUS Test, Rodrigues said that it was a dream for her to play Test cricket. “Test cricket is something I always wanted to play. The first thing is to wear the India blue jersey. We used to not play a lot of Test cricket then. From there to where these whites was a dream, but nothing like winning two Tests back-to-back. Getting two back-to-back half-centuries too. Christmas has come early. Even before the domestic season could start, I had set a few goals and one of them was to be consistent,” said Rodrigues after the match.
The right-handed batter also emphasized on the fact of being consistent and said that she is working hard for the results. “If I can score consistently, my team can go and win, whether it’s for Mumbai or India. I keep working hard, don’t think too much about results, I had to be consistent with my process. Once you are consistent there, results automatically follow. It’s always nice walking in. It was around this time last year I walked in with no scores and didn’t have a great series. This time, I had lot of scores backing me and I just went with the confidence. They have inspired me a lot now to bowl. On these wickets there’s turn and bounce, I’m from Mumbai, wish I could have contributed a little more but I said I’ll leave it for the bowlers,” added Rodrigues.
