Indian batter Jemimah Rodrigues has been ruled out of the ongoing season of The Hundred due to injury. The 21-year-old was part of the Northern Superchargers side for the white-ball tournament.

Rodrigues starred with the bat in her side's opening fixture against Oval Invincibles earlier this month, slamming 51 runs off just 32 balls.

She also showcased stunning form with the bat while playing for India at the Commonwealth Games. With 146 runs from five games, she finished as the fifth-highest run-scorer in the quadrennial event.

The player's injury is a major blow to the Northern Superchargers as she has been one of the top performers in the tournament. The right-handed batter was the leading run-scorer for the team in the inaugural season of the competition, mustering 249 runs from seven games at a fantastic average of 41.50.

Ireland's Gaby Lewis has been named as a replacement for Jemimah Rodrigues for the remainder of the season. The Superchargers have managed one win from their two matches so far and are placed fifth in the points table.

Jemimah Rodrigues had suffered an injury during the Commonwealth Games

India's Jemimah Rodrigues injured her hand during the team's fixture against England at the Commonwealth Games earlier this month. She didn't take the field during England's innings and was also spotted with a strapped hand.

Speaking after the game, Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur revealed that the batter had sustained a minor strain. Rodrigues did feature in the all-important final against Australia.

The talented youngster scored a run-a-ball 31 in the encounter against the Australian side. India suffered a heartbreaking nine-run loss in the marquee clash to finish with a silver medal.

The Indian side received appreciation from all quarters as they secured the country's first-ever medal in cricket in the history of the Commonwealth Games.
