3 things that RCB men’s team can learn from WPL 2024 champion RCB women’s team
RCB is the champion of the second season of Women’s Premier League Royal Challengers Bangalore Women (Image Credit- Twitter After waiting for almost 16 years, finally Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been successful in winning its first trophy. Let us tell you that RCB has won the title for the first time by defeating Delhi Capitals by 8 wickets in the final of Women’s Premier League 2024. So this trophy of RCB is going to be very special, because maybe this year will be the year of RCB. Because in the 17th year, RCB has won the final match held on the 17th day of March. It was the fans’ faith in their franchise that every time the team failed, they supported it again with full enthusiasm. Every year RCB’s slogan used to be Ae Saala Cup Namde (This year the cup is ours), but now it has become Ae Saala Cup Namdu (This year the cup is ours). On the other hand, from this victory of RCB women’s team, RCB men’s team can also learn a lot, which has not been able to win the trophy even once after playing three final matches of IPL. Let us know about three lessons that the men’s team can learn from the women’s team: 3. Have faith in your strength RCB, which won only 2 matches in the first season of the Women’s Premier League, decided to improve their bowling this season. For this, he may have weakened his batting, but he strengthened his bowling, and he also believed in his strength. At the same time, this decision of RCB also worked for them, because three bowlers of RCB (Shreyanka Patil, Asha Shobhana and Sophie Molineau) were at the forefront among the top wicket takers of the tournament. They had one of the best bowling line-ups in the WPL. The team had taken one wicket at a span of 22 runs. So, RCB men’s team has a serious pace attack, but they will have to show confidence in their bowling lineup despite the home ground like Chinnaswamy. 2. Peace in dressing form We have often seen during IPL matches that after one or two defeats, there is a lot of turmoil in the RCB camp, due to which the team is seen making small mistakes on the field. There was a similar situation with the women’s team as there were very few chances of reaching the playoffs. But in the important match, all-rounder Ellis Perry worked calmly and performed. On the field he enjoyed his game, without worrying about what the outcome of the match would be. On the other hand, the men’s team takes so much pressure of reaching the playoffs that they forget to enjoy the match and have to face defeat in important matches. 1. Make home ground a fort In the Women’s Premier League, we saw that the women’s team performed brilliantly in front of Chinnaswamy’s home crowd and won 3 out of 5 matches played at home. But the figures of the men’s team are less…
“On the basis of a good IPL season, he can come back to the team” – Aakash Chopra said about Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Many cricketers have a good chance to improve their career in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Players can prove their ability in the world’s biggest T-20 league. In this Mahakumbh of cricket, many players have confirmed their place in Team India by performing brilliantly. At the same time, the players who are dropped from the Indian team also return to the team after performing well in the IPL. Something similar can happen with cricketer Shreyas Iyer in the upcoming IPL season. Iyer has been in and out of the Indian dressing room for some time now. Even for the upcoming T-20 World Cup, his place in Team India is not considered confirmed. Now former Team India cricketer Akash Chopra has given his opinion on this matter. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Shreyas Iyer Aakash Chopra believes that IPL can prove to be a game-changer for the Kolkata Knight Riders captain to stake his claim in the T20I team. They said that, “Shreyas Iyer – You are out of the T20I list at the moment. However, you can bounce back on the back of a great IPL. If he performs well, scores more than 550 runs, which he probably will, will anyone ignore him? Then you will say that he should be kept in the team because he is a powerful player. At this point, he’s out of that loop. At some stage, he may come back, but for him, it is extremely important to have a good IPL. This is a wonderful opportunity.” KKR has many talents who are capable of making a place in the Indian team. One such player is Suyyash Sharma. The spinner took wickets at an impressive economy rate of 8.23 in 11 matches in IPL 2023. Looking at his wicket-taking ability, it seems that only Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine were ahead of him in terms of wickets. The former cricketer said, “I see a big opportunity for Suyyash Sharma this season. Last time was his first season and he impressed a lot. “However, it will be interesting to see how he utilizes that opportunity in the second season.”

The entire team was all out on the score of just 113 in 18.3 overs. Smriti Mandhana (31) and Sophie Devine (32) gave a good start to the Royal Challengers Bangalore team while chasing the target of 114 runs and made a partnership of 49 runs for the first wicket.
