As defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru prepare to embark upon Gujarat Giants in the opener of Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 campaign in Vadodara, they have received an inspiring message from none other than Virat Kohli. In a video message shared by the franchise on social media, Kohli wished Smriti Mandhana & Co. the very best for the season, urging them to carry forward last year’s momentum and play with confidence.
Kohli said,Â
‘It’s amazing what you did last year, and I hope you continue to ride that momentum. With the load of winning the title already off your back, go out there, express yourself, and enjoy the support from fans across India’.
RCB women were excellent in the WPL 2024, breaking the franchise’s no-title curse; the team managed to lift the trophy, defeating Delhi Capitals women in the summit clash of the tournament. They will kick off the new season against Gujarat Giants.
Both sides face off at the Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara, on February 14, and the defending champions will hope to get off to a good start to the season. Furthermore, after the clash against Gujarat Giants, RCB will next take on Delhi Capitals in the 4th game of the season on February 17.
