WPL 2025 Final, MI vs DC: Not all fairytales have happy endings, some have  agony. Ft. Meg Lanning - India Today

The UPW should aggressively pursue Meg Lanning, who was unexpectedly released by the Delhi Capitals, with their former captain, Alyssa Healy, being released and potentially going for a high price. Lanning is perhaps the most successful captain in women's cricket, leading the Capitals to three straight WPL finals.

Her availability provided a tremendous opportunity to instantly create a winning and fundamentally sound leadership culture throughout the squad,. The first step in restructuring UP Warriorz was to try to acquire an experienced captain to compete for the WPL title. In her remarkable WPL spell with DC, she scored 952 runs in just 27 matches, with an immaculate average of over 40, making her the ideal choice for UP Warriorz's new leader.
