Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues share candid stories of passion, perseverance, and women’s cricket on Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle
World Cup champions Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues appeared on a special episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, sharing candid stories from their cricketing journeys. From childhood struggles to high-pressure matches and the thrill of winning, their conversation was a mix of fun, emotion, and inspiration, celebrating the rise of women’s cricket in India. Fresh off India’s historic World Cup win after 52 years, Jemimah reflected on the moment, saying, “It’s a dream, not just for us, but for every Indian. We are happy we could do it, and this World Cup is also for the generation before us who set the foundation so that we could play cricket today. So I think this is everyone’s cup.” She recounted the final wicket, saying, “When we took the last wicket and won, we all ran towards Harry Di, who took the final catch. It didn’t sink in. It still feels like a dream because we’ve imagined this our entire lives.”Jemimah also revealed that she nearly pursued hockey instead of cricket. “I played cricket before hockey. When we moved from Bhandup to Bandra, my uncle gave me a hockey stick and I started playing. I even got selected to play hockey for the state before cricket. But at that level, I had progressed further in cricket, so I chose it. Still, I dream of playing both for India.”Shafali shared the surprising way her cricket journey began. “My brother was supposed to play in a tournament, but he got sick. I said, ‘I can go instead.’ I even had boy-cut hair, and my brother’s face is similar to mine. I played wearing a jersey with ‘Sahil’ on the back, after him, and I ended up being ‘Player of the Series’ at 11 years old.”Reflecting on her early days, Jemimah said, “When I started at a cricket club, girls’ cricket wasn’t well known. I was the only girl in a group of 400 boys. Sometimes boys wouldn’t talk to me because of teasing, but having a bat or ball in hand gave me confidence. It helped me grow tougher and improve my game.”Shafali shared how the movie Dangal motivates her. “Whenever I’m feeling down, I watch Dangal. I’m from Haryana, and many things in the movie reflect my life. It pumps me up every time.”Jemimah also explained why she is called Team DJ. “I love feel-good Bollywood songs, and when we started playing for the state, I began listening to Bollywood music more. The team also bonds over music, which adds to our energy during matches. Punjabi songs are our go-to when we dance as a team.”Produced and conceptualized by Banijay Asia, the show is presented by Oppo and co-presented by Kohler, Kalyan Jewellers, and Fevi Kwik. The special episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle is now streaming on Prime Video across more than 240 countries and territories.

Texas buys $5mn BTC ETF, pushes for Bitcoin reserve plan
The post Texas buys $5mn BTC ETF, pushes for Bitcoin reserve plan appeared com. The state legislation sets aside $10 million for Bitcoin accumulation. Texas is preparing a formal tender to choose a custodian for the reserve. New Hampshire authorised a Bitcoin reserve and approved a $100 million Bitcoin bond. Texas is moving ahead with one of the most ambitious state-level crypto strategies in the country as it begins shaping the framework for a government Bitcoin reserve. The state has now taken its first formal step by acquiring $5 million in shares of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust. The purchase is part of a wider plan triggered by legislation passed earlier this year, which allocated $10 million for future Bitcoin accumulation. The early activity positions Texas to become the first US state to hold a dedicated cryptocurrency reserve, giving it a lead in a growing competition among states exploring digital asset policies. Texas builds foundation for Bitcoin reserve The state has been gathering information from the cryptocurrency industry to help design how its reserve will operate. The review began after Texas issued a request for information in September seeking guidance on best practices for storage, security, and management. Industry groups sent detailed submissions covering custody models, investment structures, governance frameworks, and security systems. The process is part of a wider effort to ensure the reserve can be managed with clear procedures once it transitions from planning to execution. Texas officials are expected to follow this phase with a formal request for proposal. The tender will be used to select a custodian and determine the final operational rules for the programme. The recent $5 million allocation acts as a temporary measure rather than direct Bitcoin ownership while the state completes its selection process, according to a CoinDesk report. States explore government crypto strategies Other states have also gained exposure to Bitcoin, though through different channels. Michigan.
