Fans erupted with joy after RCB Women won the WPL 2024 Title
RCB fans & Players were pleased as it was the first time that the franchise won an IPL title since the beginning of the league. But the Women’s team did what the men’s team couldn’t do for so long. They helped RCB to bring the coveted trophy home by lifting the WPL 2024 title. However, the trophy drought cannot exclude RCB’s popularity among fans as despite not winning many trophies, they are still one of the most followed teams, not only in IPL but across leagues. Whether they win or lose there is no effect on RCB’s fan following, thanks to Virat Kohli & AB De Villiers who are adding to their fandom.
Notably, the Women’s team victory has doubled up pressure on the RCB Men’s team to perform well & end their 16-year winless streak by winning the IPL 2024. But in a positive sense, this win will motivate the Men’s team to do what they failed to do in 16 years by winning the IPL 2024 Title. The onus will be on Kohli, captain Faf du Plessis, Dinesh Karthik, and other senior players to guide the team to the laurels of success.
The cash-rich league & one of the biggest cricketing extravaganzas will begin on March 22 with Defending Champions, CSK locking horns with RCB. MS Dhoni-led CSK will aim to continue their winning spree in IPL 2024 by clinching the opening clash on the other hand, RCB will aim to forget the failures of previous seasons & beginning the upcoming edition of the IPL on a fresh note. Who will succeed in their motive is what will be known once the action shifts on the field on March 22, 2024.
