Cricket Meets Chords: The Viral ‘Bat-ar’ Surprise for Jemimah!
From World Cup Promises to Musical Duets...
Cricket Meets Chords: The Viral ‘Bat-ar’ Surprise for Jemimah! Cricket and music hit a harmonious note in Mumbai as legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar fulfilled a heartwarming promise made to India’s star batter, Jemimah Rodrigues. On the eve of the Women’s Premier League 2026, Gavaskar surprised the young cricketer with a one-of-a-kind “Bat-ar”—a custom-made guitar designed in the shape of a cricket bat.

The story began during India’s triumphant 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup campaign. Following Jemimah’s heroic unbeaten 127 against Australia in the semi-final, Gavaskar had publicly pledged that if the Women in Blue lifted the trophy, he would join her for a musical duet.

The viral video shared by Jemimah shows her sheer delight as she unboxes the wooden case. Gavaskar, known for his wit, joked that he was not the “opening bat” for the day, referring to the gift’s packaging. The duo then engaged in a soulful “jamming session,” singing the evergreen Bollywood hit Yeh Dosti from the film Sholay. While Jemimah strummed the unique instrument, Gavaskar lent his vocals, creating a bridge between two different generations of Indian cricket.
