Harmanpreet corrects the presenter with a savage reply after being called 'Jemimah'
After India won the 2nd ODI against Bangladesh by a mammoth margin of 108 runs, Harmanpreet Kaur provided a mic drop moment for the fans in her post-match interview. “We wanted to bat only, and it was a great opportunity to bat first and put up a decent total. One of me and Jemi (Jemimah) wanted to play till the end. We wanted to put a good stand. Our focus was on rotating the strike,” said the India women’s captain as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
“We have been batting on flat tracks and we were not able to adjust quickly (in the first game). After the first game, we understood how we had to bat and the areas. It will be a good game after two days and we want to finish with a win,” she added. As Harmanpreet concluded her thoughts, the match presenter addressed her as Jemimah, which prompted a savage reply from the India skipper.
