In India, women’s cricket has a fresh chapter beginning today. The Women’s Premier League will be the women’s league in India after more than ten years of uncertainty. The league promises to get off to an exciting start with Gujarat Giants taking on Mumbai Indians in the tournament’s opening match at the DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai. Both teams today have prominent players on them, and the match is made even more intriguing by the teams’ good compatibility.
Today marks a historic moment in Women’s sports. The WPL has given young girls the platform to fulfill their dreams and change their lives forever.
Many cricketers have wished the teams ahead of the historic tournament. Mumbai Indians team has wished their team and all the players in general.
Royal Challengers Bangalore wicketkeeper and batter Dinesh Karthik tweeted wishing all the teams the very best ahead of the marquee event. The RCB keeper cheekily congratulated his team more than the others.

“Well played, RCB! So thrilled that my team has won the bid for the Bengaluru Women’s Premier League team. Can’t wait to cheer for our women in Red and Gold. #ItsHerGameToo #PlayBold @royalchallengersbangalore”
The Royal Challengers Bangalore have been in search of the trophy since the start of the IPL. The Bangalore franchise fell agonizingly close twice in 2009 and 2016. But the fans have been passionately supporting the team in Red and Gold.
The Women’s RCB team has a well-balanced squad and a strong core of experienced players like Smriti Mandhana, Ellyse Perry, and Megan Schutt with many talented local players. In Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium, RCB will face Delhi Caps in their inaugural game on March 5.
