Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has finally silenced the skeptics by clinching a victory in the Women's Premier League (WPL) final against Delhi Capitals, marking a significant milestone for the team and its loyal fans. The much-repeated slogan 'Ee Sala Cup Namde' has now turned into a reality, bringing immense joy and pride to RCB supporters.
RCB's off-spinner Shreyanka Patil, who emerged as the highest wicket-taker in the WPL with 13 scalps, expressed her elation and relief after the team's triumph. "They keep saying 'Ee sala cup namde' and we got it. That's it guys, it is for the fans," said Patil, reflecting the collective sentiment of victory and gratitude towards the supporters.
The journey to this victory was not without challenges, but RCB's women's head coach Luke Williams played a pivotal role in maintaining a calm and focused dressing room atmosphere. Patil acknowledged Williams' contribution, highlighting the team's unity and dedication to their hard work. "Day in and day out we put our hard work. We felt like family. We did not know Luke much. During the last game that we won against Mumbai, he had tears. We are looking forward to continuing this," she added, emphasizing the team's commitment to building on their success under Williams' guidance.
The Women's Premier League also witnessed exceptional performances from players like Elysse Perry, who topped the run-makers' chart with 347 runs. Perry praised Shreyanka and her teammate Sophie Molineux for their pivotal roles in changing the course of the final match after Delhi Capitals took an early lead. "Shreyanka is such a young player and she has got the world at her feet. It was a special performance," said Perry, highlighting Shreyanka's talent and potential for future success.
The support and enthusiasm shown by fans throughout the WPL were also acknowledged, with Perry describing it as "phenomenal" and "unbelievable." The victory not only symbolizes RCB's triumph but also signifies the spirit of teamwork, resilience, and dedication that define the essence of cricket at its best.
As RCB celebrates this historic win, it marks a new chapter in their journey, fueling hopes and aspirations for continued success in the world of women's cricket.
