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 home ground and better on away ground.

RCB should learn from teams like Mumbai and Chennai, who play brilliantly at home. If RCB is successful in performing better in its home matches in the upcoming season, then it can definitely end its 16-year trophy drought.
