[Watch] RCB Captain Smriti Mandhana Receives Virat Kohli-Like Roar from Bengaluru Crowd at M. Chinnaswamy
Smriti Mandhana is currently leading Royals Challengers Bangalore Women in WPL 2024.
When Smriti Mandhana, captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore Women, emerged for the toss against UP Warriorz, the stadium echoed with loud cheers akin to those for Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The much-awaited toss began with Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy winning and opting to field first. After her chat with Mel Jones, the spotlight shifted to the RCB skipper, almost drowned out by the raucous cheers from the crowd.
Mandhana attempted to speak, but the overwhelming cheers from the fans kept interrupting her, causing her to break into smiles. She gestured to Jones that she couldn’t be heard over the deafening roar of the crowd.
