India, June 21 -- Contd from p01 He credits their shared faith for helping her bounce back: "That night, she went to church and broke down. She said, 'Every time I speak about how God has lifted me up, today I have nothing to say. I'm totally broken. I don't even know if I'll be in the team tomorrow.' Soon after, the squad was announced and she was back in the playing XI." Ivan also often reflects on the sacrifices behind her success. "We left everything behind and moved from Bhandup to Bandra so she could train properly. We went from a big house to five people living in a 10x10 room. I would travel long distances to watch her play, rush home to take classes and repeat the routine every day," he says, before sharing one of his fondest memories. "Our church had a basement, so I laid an Astro Turf mat there. After all the church activities ended, we would practise at 1am and return home around 2.30am." At a time when women's cricket received little attention in India, Ivan also had to educate himself about the sport. "Jemimah was dominating age-group cricket, but I didn't even know who Mithali Raj was or who captained the Indian women's team. So I travelled to Guntur to watch Mithali and Harmanpreet Kaur play for Railways as I wanted to understand the level my daughter needed to reach." But what makes Ivan proud has little to do with cricket. "She is very grounded," he says, sharing a lesser-known side of the star batter: "Last year, after winning the World Cup, the very next day she took out my scooty and went to the stall near our house to buy kadak pav for her brothers. That's my daughter, Jemimah." Today, as the cricketer prepares for another World Cup campaign, Ivan says the dream is still unfolding: "She is a world champion, but there is still so much more to achieve."...
