RCB wins WPL 2024:
IPL legend and RCB icon Virat Kohli joined the chorus of congratulations by congratulating the Smriti Mandhana-led RCB Women on Instagram. To acknowledge their outstanding achievement, Kohli praised the team, calling them “Superwomen.” As the Men’s team prepares for the upcoming IPL 2024 season, they are under increasing pressure to emulate the success of their female counterparts.
The IPL team, captained by Faf du Plessis, is ready to face the defending champion Chennai Super Kings on March 22 at MA Chidambaram Stadium to begin their campaign. It has been rightly pointed out by former cricketer Ravi Shastri that the men’s team now has to emulate Mandhana’s winning team.
Smriti Mandhana, the captain of the RCB Women’s team, reflected on their journey to the title and expressed her pride in her team’s performance, praising them especially for their tenacity in overcoming obstacles during the league phase. In addition to praising her teammates for their outstanding work, Mandhana stressed the significance of peaking at the appropriate time in competitions of this kind.
“The feeling hasn’t fully set in yet. It’s difficult for me to express myself. I will say this: I’m proud of the group. Our leg in Bangalore, Bengaluru, was excellent. We had two hard losses when we arrived in Delhi. We discussed the need to take action when it is appropriate. The goal of these competitions is to peak at the appropriate moment. Smriti Mandhana stated following the game.
