Mumbai, Nov. 29 -- Actor Suniel Shetty has appreciated cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues for her gesture towards teammate and close friend Smriti Mandhana, whose wedding celebrations with fiance Palash Mucchal were postponed due to a health issue involving Mandhana's father.

Shetty took to his X account on Friday to acknowledge Rodrigues' decision to opt out of the ongoing season of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) to be with her close friend and teammate during this tough phase. He wrote that Rodrigues' decision to step away from commitments showed "quiet solidarity."

"Jemimah leaving the WBBL to be by Smriti's side. No big statements, just quiet solidarity. This is what real teammates do. Simple. Straight. Genuine," his post read.
