Breakfast with Champions

Shafali Verma, a young cricket prodigy, opens up about her challenging journey, from the heartbreak of being dropped from the team to her triumphant return as the Player of the Final in India's historic 2025 World Cup win. She shares emotional moments, including crying after a poor semifinal performance and the surprise call-up to the World Cup squad. The video also delves into her childhood, where she disguised herself as a boy to play cricket and her inspiring encounter with her idol, Sachin Tendulkar. She emphasizes the importance of education and reflects on the significant growth and changes in women's cricket.

She’s back! A few years older, a lot more mature, but still the same Jemi who can light up a room like no one else. On this episode of L'Oreal presents Breakfast with Champions, Jemimah reflects on the testing period where the runs dried up and the mental toll of being sidelined. From the emotional release of that definitive World Cup knock against Australia to the quiet strength she finds in her family and her faith, this is a version of Jemi we haven’t seen before, vulnerable, grounded, and resilient. Of course, the trademark chaos returns the moment she and Gaurav pick up their banter right where they left off. It’s a masterclass in high-voltage wit and roasting, proving that while her game has evolved, her personality remains as sharp as her batting. Episode filmed at Project Hum, Bandra.

They call her the ‘Silent Assassin,’ the ‘DSP,’ and now, a World Champion. In this special episode of L'Oréal Paris presents Breakfast with Champions, Gaurav Kapur sits down with the 2025 World Cup’s Player of the Tournament, Deepti Sharma. From the gullies of Agra to the pinnacle of world cricket, Deepti’s journey is a masterclass in grit, grace, and pure skill. It’s not all stats and trophies, though, expect a side of legendary anecdotes and unfiltered laughs.
