Smriti Mandhana-led RCB finished 4th in the 5-team Women’s Premier League 2023 season

Smriti Mandhana-led RCB finished 4th in the 5-team Women’s Premier League 2023 season.

The auction for the Women’s Premier League 2024 has arrived, with the five franchises looking to bolster their squads ahead of next year’s event. The Smriti Mandhana-led Royal Challengers Bangalore have five vacant spots to fill in their team, with the focus being to build a squad that helps them finish better than last season’s fourth. While RCB has a formidable team, it’s the franchise’s ‘history’ overall that remains a big subject of chatter among fans. Smriti Mandhaana, however, isn’t thinking too much about it.
In a chat, Mandhana said that the results RCB, as a franchise, has been getting in the past aren’t something she or her teammates pay too much attention to. For them, it’s a fresh start in the Women’s Premier League.
“For us as the RCB women’s team, we are all starting it as new. We are not thinking about what has happened in terms of RCB as a franchise. Definitely, RCB is a massive franchise, and the only thing more than pressure is that if we go on to win the title, the kind of happiness that the loyal RCB fans will get is something that I am looking forward to.”
