Cricket excitement is at its peak in Vadodara as 2026 begins. Fans are eagerly waiting at Kotambi International Stadium for the Women’s Premier League match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI).

Before the game, RCB players Lauren Bell, Radha Yadav, and Shreyanka Patil entertained the crowd by dancing to the hit Bollywood song “Ladki Aankh Maare…” at a local event.

Vadodara is proving to be a cricket-loving city. The stadium is expected to be full on Monday, showing how popular women’s cricket has become. The city recently hosted an India–New Zealand men’s ODI, and now it is fully into the WPL action. On 24 January, nearly 25,000 fans watched RCB play Delhi Capitals. Tickets for the 26 January RCB vs MI match are already sold out, and a packed crowd is expected.

RCB Draws Big Crowds as Women’s Cricket Gains Popularity

RCB matches are attracting huge crowds, showing the team’s strong fan following. During a recent event, three RCB players shared their interests off the field.

Lauren Bell said she enjoys drinking coffee, reading books, and listening to music in her free time. Shreyanka Patil revealed she is a big fan of Punjabi songs. Radha Yadav said the food she misses most on tour is home-cooked dal and rice, which she could eat every day.

Jemimah Rodrigues Led Delhi Capitals Beat RCB

Delhi Capitals, led by Jemimah Rodrigues, defeated RCB in a thrilling Women’s Premier League match at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara. The win gave Delhi plenty of confidence for the rest of the season, especially since Smriti Mandhana’s RCB team was unbeaten until then.

In the match, RCB struggled with the bat in the first innings. Mandhana scored 38 runs, but most other players failed to score, with eight players making single-digit runs. Nandini Sharma took three wickets and became the leading wicket-taker of the season. Chinelle Henry, Marizanne Kapp, and Minnu Mani took two wickets each, as RCB scored only 109 runs.

During Delhi’s chase, they lost two early wickets and were 24/2. Jemimah Rodrigues and Laura Wolvaardt then made a 48-run partnership, leading the team to victory.

RCB Partnership Promotes Women's Empowerment

Vinay Thadani, CEO and Director of Grey Solar, said the company organised a meet-and-greet as part of its partnership with RCB in the Women’s Premier League.

“Our tie-up with RCB is an important step for women's empowerment. About 35% of our workforce is women. This partnership fits our company’s values,” he said.

Vadodara Emerging as a Cricket Hub

In the past year, Vadodara has hosted 27 cricket matches. The modern facilities at Kotambi International Cricket Stadium are appreciated by players. With growing fan interest and frequent high-profile matches, women’s cricket is clearly gaining popularity in the city.

With three out of three wins, WPL 2024 champions RCB Women are leading the points table of the WPL 2026 with six points, as they defeated Gujarat Giants Women by 32 runs on Friday night (January 16) during the ninth match of the tournament.

After Gujarat Giants chose to field first, RCB scored 182/7 in 20 overs. In reply, the Giants were bowled out for only 150 runs, as the RCB claimed a comfortable victory.

At the end of the powerplay, RCB were struggling at 45/4, as only the opener Grace Harris (17) managed a double-digit score among the top four batters. Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh rescued RCB with a 105-run partnership for the fifth wicket. While Richa scored 44 off 28 balls with four fours and two sixes, Radha scored 66 off 47 balls with six fours and three sixes. Also, Nadine de Klerk had a strong cameo of 26 from just 12 balls with two fours and two sixes. 

Among the Giants bowlers, Sophie Devine (3/31) got three wickets, and Kashvee Gautam (2/42) picked up two wickets. 

WPL 2026, GG Women vs RCB Women: Shreyanka Patil claimed fifer

In reply, the Giants' openers Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney provided a 34-run partnership for the first wicket before regular wickets falling drastically changed the situation. From 70/5, Kashvee Gautam and Bharti Fulmali brought the team back to the fight with a 56-run partnership for the sixth wicket, but once that partnership was broken, RCB bowlers dominated to bowl out their opponents. 

Only three Giants batters managed to reach the 20-run mark. Apart from the opener Beth Mooney (27), the other two names were Bharti (39) and Tanuja Kanwar (21).

RCB off-spinner Shreyanka Patil claimed a five-wicket haul, as she delivered the fourth-best bowling figures in the tournament history with the figures of 3.5-0-23-5. It was also the second-best bowling figures in the competition history by a spinner, just behind RCB spinner Asha Sobhana's 5/22 against UP Warriorz Women in 2024. Also, Lauren Bell got three wickets, as she had the bowling figures of 4-0-29-3. 

For her brilliant batting performance, Radha Yadav was selected for the Player of the Match award. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women maintained their undefeated streak at the ongoing WPL 2026 with a convincing 32-run victory over Gujarat Giants Women in Match 9, played in Navi Mumbai. Batting first, RCBW scored a total of 182/7 in 20 overs, with Radha Yadav contributing immensely to the score with 66 off 47 deliveries to anchor the innings.

Despite a good bowling performance by Sophie Devine, who took 3 wickets for 31 runs, Gujarat Giants found it difficult to restrict RCB’s scoring momentum in the mid overs. An excellent 105-run partnership between Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh was needed for RCBW to recover well and post a good total.

In response, Gujarat Giants Women were bowled out for 150 in 18.5 overs. Bharti Fulmali fought a lone battle with 39 off 20 balls, but the chase never really took off. Shreyanka Patil was the star with the ball, claiming an excellent five-wicket haul (5/23) to break the Giants’ batting lineup. Her spell sealed the win for RCB Women, who stayed on top of the points table.

The spin all-rounder, Shreyanka Patil, who will feature for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (RCBW) in the 2026 season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), has revealed the vital advice of Jasprit Bumrah, the premier pacer of the Indian men’s cricket team. Patil has overall picked up 20 wickets in 16 WT20I innings.

In terms of her performance in the WPL history, the 23-year-old has collected 19 wickets in 15 innings at an average of 18.36 and a strike rate of 12.90 with an economy rate of 8.51 at the best bowling figures of 4/12 in an innings. She addressed how missing the World Cup wasn’t a great feeling for her.

“I thought it was just a one-off injury. I felt I'd be back in two or three months. I never imagined I wouldn't be on the field for more than a year. Once I started missing tournaments back-to-back, and then missing out on WPL, that was a big blow for me. Missing the World Cup hurt a lot. As a cricketer, you always want to lift that trophy.” Patil expressed in an interview.

Shreyanka Patil discusses Jasprit Bumrah’s valuable suggestion

Patil was recently part of the 2025 season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) for the Barbados Royals, where she picked up only one wicket in five innings at an average of 115 and a strike rate of 96 with an economy rate of just over seven.

“I had so many questions. About bowling under pressure, about practicing yorkers. Even though he's a fast bowler and I'm a spinner, I bowl at the death too. He told me, 'This is okay, everyone goes through it.' He said I'm facing it at a young age, so don't fight it. Just be in it. No words can describe how I felt.” The Karnataka spinner shed light.

“I was overthinking before that. 'What if I'm not retained, which team will I play for?' All those thoughts were there. After the call, I rang Arjun [Dev, her personal coach], sir, and just started crying. I didn't even know what I was feeling. It was just so much love and belief.” Patil claimed. 

In a heartwarming video, a devoted fan of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) revealed his daughter's name, which caught Team India and RCB Women's team star Shreyanka Patil's attention on a social media platform. The fan named their newborn daughter in the cricketer's honour ahead of WPL 2026.

Viewers can see the fan holding up an RCB jersey with "Shreyanka 20" printed on the back. The gesture by the fan mesmerised the star all-rounder as well. In a warm gesture, the cricketer asked the fan to share their address so she could send a gift for the newborn daughter. "Awwww, this is sooo cute! Please DM your address so I can send something for little Shreyanka," Patil wrote in her comment.

Shreyanka Patil, with her spin bowling abilities and handy batting skills as a lower-order batter, proved instrumental for the franchise. She has been an integral part of the team over the last three seasons. During the WPL 2024 season, when the women's team of RCB lifted the trophy, Patil played a massive role behind the triumph. She was the highest wicket-taker with 13 wickets in eight matches in that season. She claimed the purple cap as well.

The all-rounder missed the entire WPL 2025 due to a shin injury. After rehabilitation, Patil returned to competitive matches through the Women's Caribbean Premier League with the Barbados Royals in 2025. Despite missing an entire season, the franchise retained her ahead of the WPL 2026 auction.

It is expected to see her in action again in the red and black jersey when RCB-W will be facing the two-time champions Mumbai Indians on January 9 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.

As the Women's Premier League (WPL) prepares for its fourth season, a major shake-up could be on the cards with the possible return of a mega auction in 2026. This move, reminiscent of the men’s IPL format, could see teams rebuilding their squads almost from scratch, retaining only a select few players while the rest return to the auction pool.

While the final rules regarding the number of retentions, auction purse, and right-to-match (RTM) cards are yet to be confirmed, every franchise will be strategizing carefully. For Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who finally tasted glory in the WPL, identifying their core group will be crucial to maintaining balance and momentum.

Here’s a look at five players RCB must retain ahead of the WPL 2026 auction.

1. Smriti Mandhana

An obvious choice, Smriti Mandhana remains the heartbeat of RCB. As captain and opener, she has led from the front with consistent performances and smart leadership. Her evolution as a batter and her ability to anchor or accelerate depending on the situation make her indispensable.

Having guided RCB to their maiden WPL title and continuing to shine at the international level, Mandhana embodies what the franchise stands for class, composure, and consistency. There’s no question that RCB will build their next cycle around her.

2. Richa Ghosh

Dynamic, fearless, and efficient, Richa Ghosh is one of the finest wicketkeeper-batters in the country. At just 22, she has already proven her worth in crunch situations, whether it’s finishing innings with power or keeping her cool behind the stumps.

Given the scarcity of high-quality Indian wicketkeepers in the women’s circuit, letting Ghosh go would be a huge risk. Her maturity and composure have made her an invaluable part of RCB’s middle order, and she is undoubtedly a long-term investment.

3. Ellyse Perry

When it comes to reliability and impact, Ellyse Perry is in a league of her own. A proven match-winner across formats, Perry has been the backbone of RCB’s batting order, combining elegance with consistency.

She was RCB’s top run-scorer and the second-highest overall in one of the earlier editions, averaging close to 65 with a healthy strike rate. Her performances in other leagues, like the WBBL and The Hundred, have shown she still has plenty to offer. RCB will know that replacing someone of Perry’s calibre from the auction pool would be almost impossible.

4. Sophie Molineux

Versatile and tactical, Sophie Molineux adds immense value as a left-arm spinner and lower-order batter. Her absence due to injury was a major blow for RCB in 2025, especially after her key role in their championship-winning 2024 campaign.

Recently, Molineux has continued to impress on the global stage, helping the Melbourne Renegades clinch the BBL 2024-25 title and delivering standout performances in the ongoing Women’s ODI World Cup. Her ability to deliver breakthroughs and contribute with the bat makes her one of the smartest retentions RCB could make.

5. Shreyanka Patil

Shreyanka Patil’s rise has been one of RCB’s biggest success stories. The leading wicket-taker in the WPL 2024, she quickly established herself as one of India’s most exciting young spinners before injuries sidelined her in 2025.

Now back in action after featuring in the 2025 Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Shreyanka is seen as a key piece in RCB’s future plans. Her blend of wicket-taking ability, energy, and aggression makes her a player around whom RCB can build their spin attack for years to come.

Honourable Mentions:

• Georgia Wareham – Reliable leg-spinner and handy lower-order hitter.
• Sneh Rana – Experienced Indian all-rounder with leadership traits.
• Renuka Singh Thakur – Proven new-ball bowler capable of early breakthroughs.

Final Thoughts

With a potential mega auction on the horizon, Royal Challengers Bangalore face the tough task of balancing experience and youth. However, retaining the likes of Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh, Ellyse Perry, Sophie Molineux, and Shreyanka Patil would give them a stable and formidable core, one that can ensure sustained success and possibly more silverware in the seasons to come.

Rising Indian all-rounder Shreyanka Patil has unveiled her dream T20 XI, assembling a mix of legends from the sport's past along with some of the best players in contemporary men's and women's cricket. Her team demonstrates her even-handed appreciation of some of the great iconic names in the sport while also acknowledging a few players that has inspired her in her journey in the game with the shortest format.

She has started her team with an explosive opening pair that any cricket fan would recognize: Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle. They have both represented the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and have played some spectacular innings over the years. Gayle, known as "The Universe Boss," is the leading T20 run scorer with 14,562 runs, while Kohli's 13,543 runs represent his incredible consistency, along with the ability to adapt to formats.

Patil reveals her best T20 playing XI

AB de Villiers occupies the No. 3 spot, a position that is arguably the most important position in T20 cricket. De Villiers is a legend, and with his inventive stroke play and over 9,000 runs in T20, there was no other man for the spot. At No. 4, India's women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur has been recognized by Patil. Kaur is a master at anchoring an innings and being able to shift gears at will, and is a key player for India. In at No. 5, Australian all-rounder Grace Harris is known for her destructive batting in the Women’s Big Bash League.

At No. 6 is Chinelle Henry from the West Indies, who can offer balance with her all-round ability. Finally, Patil slotted herself in at No. 7, an impressive move on Patil's part, as she just exhibited supreme form in the Women’s Premier League, where she took 19 wickets in just 15 games, and continued to have consistent success for India.

To fill the lower order, Patil has opted for a combination of spin, pace, and power. With Sophie Molineux as the Australian left-arm-spinner providing control and guile, Andre Russell in as the modern T20 powerhouse providing explosive finishing and medium pace to a balanced bowling lineup; and India’s own Jasprit Bumrah and the amazing newer talent in Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan, comfortably two of the best bowlers ever in the modern game of T20, in as skilled pace and spin options, why not. 

Patil’s dream XI has a great mix of aggressive batters, quality bowlers, and world-class all-rounders, and a combination that would surely be the envy of any side.

Shreyanka Patil’s Dream T20 XI:

Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Harmanpreet Kaur, Grace Harris, Chinelle Henry, Shreyanka Patil, Sophie Molineux, Andre Russell, Jasprit Bumrah, Rashid Khan

The fourth edition of the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) is ready to start on September 6, 2025, and promises plenty of crazy matches. This year’s WCPL 2025 tournament will see three Indian players Shreyanka Patil, Shikha Pandey, and Salonee Dangore take the matches and look to make an impact on the world stage.

Shreyanka Patil made history in 2023 as the first Indian woman to play in the WCPL. After missing last season, she is back and will play for the defending champions, Barbados Royals.

She was the top wicket-taker in 2023, with 9 wickets in just 5 matches and an excellent economy rate of 5.83. Her four-wicket haul that season showed she can handle big moments. For India, she has 20 wickets in 16 T20I innings, and for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the WPL, she has taken 19 wickets in 15 games. She is also a powerful hitter, with a strike rate of 147.27 in the WPL. She will play a key role in helping the Royals defend their title.

Welcome back, Shikha Pandey ❤️

— Trinbago Knight Riders (@TKRiders) June 23, 2025

Experienced all-rounder Shikha Pandey will once again play for Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR). Last season, she picked up 4 wickets in 5 matches and also scored 90 runs at a strike rate of 92. Shikha has been a consistent performer for India, taking 43 wickets in 56 T20Is. She played for Delhi Capitals in the WPL league, she took 30 wickets in 27 matches, and she played WBBL 2024/25 with 12 wickets in 12 innings. Her skills and experience will be very crucial for TKR.

3. Salonee Dangore – Trinbago Knight Riders

She’s sharp. She’s fearless. She’s ours. ❤️

Welcome, Salonee Dangore 🔥

— Trinbago Knight Riders (@TKRiders) June 23, 2025

Salonee Dangore, a young leg-spin all-rounder from Chhattisgarh, will make her WCPL debut with TKR. She was the leading wicket-taker in the Senior Women’s One Day Trophy 2024, with 15 wickets in 6 matches. In T20s, she took 31 wickets in 36 games at an average of 17.52 and an economy of 5.32. She has also shown her ability with the bat by scoring 103 runs. She was a net bowler for Delhi Capitals during WPL 2025 and now has a chance to show her talent on the world stage.

India recently announced their squad for the 2025 Women's World Cup. There is still some uncertainty about the venues and tickets for the tournament, but the selectors were clear while choosing their 15-member team. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead India, and Smriti Mandhana will be her deputy. Renuka Singh Thakur has been selected even after a long time out due to injury, while the less experienced trio of Pratika Rawal, Sree Charani, and Kranti Goud have also been picked.

At the same time, there were a few notable exclusions that surprised many. While all the decisions were justified, it was a bit strange that these players were not included even in the standby list.

Here are three big names who missed out on India's squad for the 2025 Women's World Cup:

3.  Asha Sobhana

Asha Sobhana has played only two ODIs, so it was not a big surprise that she missed out on the 2025 Women's World Cup squad. She also missed the 2025 Women's Premier League season due to injury and was not in the national team's plans for the tournament. Earlier, it seemed like Asha could easily become a regular in the 50-over team. India has chosen more pace bowlers, with Sneh Rana and Sree Charani joining Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav, plus some part-time options. In a home World Cup, having a leg-spinner like Asha could have been useful. But because of her injuries and lack of experience in this format, it is understandable that India did not pick her.

2.  Shafali Verma

The biggest surprise from India's squad announcement was that Shafali Verma was left out of the 15 and not even included in the standbys. The 21-year-old has played 29 ODIs and scored 644 runs at an average of 23. Shafali’s inconsistency has been an issue for years, and she has not improved enough to fix the gaps in her game. Pratika Rawal has been more stable at the top of the order, so Shafali was never likely to be picked in the first-choice team. The backup batter slot went to the versatile Yastika Bhatia.

1.  Shreyanka Patil

Shreyanka Patil, another player expected to become a regular for India, has had a tough year. The off-spinner faced several injuries and, like Asha, missed the 2025 Women's Premier League. She was reportedly cleared by the Centre of Excellence before the World Cup squad was announced. But the selectors probably did not want to disturb the team balance. Even so, it is worth questioning why she was not included in the standby list, given her clear talent with the ball.

India's T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav is creating buzz once again, but this time it's not for his cricketing skills. Instead, it's his fun side that's grabbing attention.

A light-hearted video of Suryakumar dancing with India women’s team spinner Shreyanka Patil has taken social media by storm. The two cricketers can be seen enjoying themselves, grooving to upbeat music, and sharing laughs in the short clip.

Fans have loved seeing this cheerful moment off the field, as it highlights Suryakumar’s energetic personality beyond cricket. The video has been widely shared and praised, showing a different side of the star batter and his camaraderie with fellow players.

Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyanka Patil Dance on Viral 'Aura Farming' Reel:

Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyanka Patil are admired for their cheerful personalities and positive vibes. Their presence often lifts the team’s spirit, creating a fun and energetic atmosphere in the dressing room. They continue to spread joy both on and off the field.

Their vibrant personalities have once again captured the internet’s attention. A trending video shows the duo dancing to the viral "Aura Farming" trend while riding on a moving cart. They smoothly perform the popular dance moves first seen by an 11-year-old at a boat race, adding their unique style and energy to make it even more entertaining.

The clip has quickly gone viral, spreading smiles across social media and showcasing the fun-loving bond between the two cricketers. While posting the video on his social media handle, SKY captioned it, "Manager told me to trend, so do it."

Upcoming Action for This Duo:

After undergoing surgery post-IPL 2025, Suryakumar Yadav is showing signs of strong recovery. He looks in great shape and is regaining his rhythm just in time for a packed cricket schedule, which features the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 and a white-ball series against Australia. His return to form will be crucial for Team India.

Shreyanka Patil missed the 2024 Women’s Premier League after picking up an injury. Though selected for the India A tour of Australia, she couldn’t make the squad as she didn’t pass the fitness test at the National Cricket Academy. Even with the challenges, she remains determined and focused, keeping her eyes on the upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup 2025.
