Speaking of the WPL match, captain Smriti Mandhana‘s blitz and a disciplined effort by bowlers powered RCB to a comprehensive eight-wicket win over sloppy Gujarat Giants.
Mandhana (43, 27b, 8×4, 1×6) and S Meghana (36, 28b, 5×4, 1×6), who added 40 runs for the second wicket, made light work of a 108-run target.
RCB finished their towelling of the Giants in a mere 12.3 overs for their second win on the bounce in this WPL.
Kohli is currently in London and is expected to return to action during the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.
The IPL 2024 season will commence a few days after the conclusion of WPL 2024.
In the opening match of IPL 2024, Kohli’s RCB will take on Chennai Super Kings on March 22.
The IPL 2024 schedule was announced only for the first two weeks and 21 matches, owing to the general elections.
