Jemimah Rodrigues vs Harleen Deol: Stats Comparison And Batting Analysis

Jemimah Rodrigues made her international debut as a teenager and holds the record for the most consistent runs in all three formats in Indian women’s cricket.

Harleen Deol plays for the Indian women’s national team as a right-handed batsman who sometimes bowls right-arm leg spin, but she has yet to match Jemimah’s output or consistent bowling at the highest level. Let’s compare their stats and find out who is better out of the two.

ODI Cricket

Jemimah is ahead here and her record reflects a batsman who has taken advantage of every opportunity she has. In 62 ODI matches she has scored 1810 runs at an average of 34.1 which includes 3 centuries, 8 half-centuries, 127 not out and a strike rate of 90.3. In 50-over cricket she has an average of over 34, which is almost a run per ball. That balance of aggression and consistency is exactly what a middle-order batsman needs to deliver in the ODI format.

Harleen has played 38 ODI matches and has scored 1064 runs at an average of 32.2 which includes 1 century, 4 half-centuries, a highest run of 115 and a strike rate of 76.5. Her average of 32.2 is close to Jemimah’s 34.1 but the difference in strike rate is significant. Harleen bowls 76.5 balls per hundred runs while Jemimah bowls 90.3. This difference is very significant in full innings.

Jemimah has 3 ODI centuries to Harleen’s 1 century and has played 24 more matches in which she has scored significantly more runs. The ODI comparison with Jemimah Rodrigues has been made in every meaningful category.

Player	Years	Mat	Inn	NO	Runs	HS	Avg	BF	SR	100s	50s	4s	6s
Jemimah Rodrigues	2018–Present	62	59	6	1810	127*	34.1	2004	90.3	3	8	198	5
Harleen Deol	2019–Present	38	35	2	1064	115	32.2	1391	76.5	1	4	112	7

T20 International Cricket

In the T20I format, the gap between the two becomes impossible to bridge. Jemimah has played 128 T20Is and scored 2752 runs at an average of 29.6 with 16 half-centuries, a highest of 76 and a strike rate of 118.8. She is one of the most experienced T20I batsmen in Indian women’s cricket and her 2752 runs reflect years of consistent performance at the top level of the shorter format.

Harleen has played 28 T20Is and scored just 311 runs at an average of 17.3 with 1 half-century, a highest of 52 and a strike rate of 92.0. Her average is 17.3 against Jemimah’s 29.6. Her strike rate of 92.0 against Jemimah’s 118.8 shows that she is scoring around 27 runs per hundred balls at a slower pace. Jemimah has scored 16 T20I half-centuries. While Harleen has one.

This is not a close contest. Jemimah wins T20I batting by a wide and large margin which reflects a player who has truly mastered the format over time.

Test Cricket

As of 2026, Harleen Deol has not made her Test debut. This section belongs entirely to Jemimah. In 4 Tests, she has scored 301 runs at an average of 50.2 including 4 half-centuries, a highest of 73 and a strike rate of 65.9. An average of 50.2 in Test cricket in seven innings is a strong return for a batsman who has played the format with restraint. Her four half-centuries in seven innings show that she has the temperament and technique to perform at the highest level of the game.

Whether Harleen Deol will ever make her Test debut remains to be seen. Based on the available statistics, there is only one name in this section and that name is Jemimah.

Jemimah Rodrigues	2023–Present	4	7	1	301	73	50.2	457	65.9	0	4	45	0

Who Is the Better Batter?

Jemimah Rodrigues is the better batsman and it is not a close call. She leads in ODI average, ODI century, ODI strike rate, T20I average, T20I strike rate, T20I half-centuries, and is the only player from both teams with Test experience and a Test average of over 50. Comparisons across every format and every measurable category point in the same direction.

Harleen Deol has been a truly promising performer. Her ODI century and her ability to score quickly from set-pieces make her a useful addition to the Indian team. But the gap in career output between the two is significant and growing. Jemimah has the runs, consistency and experience. Harleen has the sheer ability.
