In 2025, Google searches in India were dominated by cricketing stars who grabbed immense attention. The year saw young talents perform consistently, smashing records and delivering some unforgettable and match-winning performances.

Explosive innings in T20Is, heroic knocks in World Cup encounters, and performances in domestic leagues as well as the Indian Premier League ensured these stars became household names overnight. Women cricketers recorded themselves in history books by winning their maiden ODI World Cup.

Star Indian women's cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues emerged as one of India’s most celebrated cricketers in 2025. Her most memorable moment came in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup semi-final, where she scored an unbeaten 127 off 134 balls against Australia, guiding India to a record 339-run chase. This match-winning knock played a crucial role in India lifting their maiden Women’s World Cup title after defeating South Africa in the final.

Meanwhile, Rodrigues was recently named Delhi Capitals’ captain for WPL 2026. She has become a role model for young cricketers, both for her performances and her advocacy on mental health, following her candid discussion of anxiety post-match. Notably, she gained over 13 lakh new followers in a week, making her one of the most searched personalities in India in 2025.
