Jemimah Rodrigues ruled out of The Hundred with hamstring injury

India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has been ruled out of The Hundred due to a hamstring injury, dealing a significant blow to her franchise Southern Brave and casting doubt on her availability for the upcoming Women's Asia Cup. The 25-year-old was replaced by Australian allrounder Charli Knott for the remainder of the tournament.

Southern Brave confirmed the injury and replacement on Saturday, August 8, 2026. Rodrigues had been a key performer for the team, scoring 143 runs in six innings at an average of 35.75 and a strike rate of 131.19. Her contributions included two Player of the Match awards, notably an unbeaten 42 off 34 balls in a successful run chase against Sunrisers Leeds.
