WPL 2023: Best starting XI of Royal Challengers Bangalore after auction
These players have looked in superb form recently and noting that RCB could go with them in most matches in the forthcoming competition.
2. Sophie Devine & Disha Kasat
Sophie Devine is known for her power-hitting ability and with this amazing cricketing quality, she is one of the most successful batters in T20Is. The spunky right-handed batter went to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at her base price of INR 50 lakh. Considering her impressive record as an opener, RCB might assign her the role of an opener to provide fierce starts alognside Smriti Mandhana.
In the shortest form of the sport, she is a huge name and has accumulated 2,966 runs with a century and 17 fifties in 117 T20I matches, at a strike rate of 121.30. Devine has a glorifying record in the WBBL too. The veteran has piled up 3,258 runs for Adelaide Strikers and Perth Scorchers with three hundreds and 19 fifties in 106 matches at a strike rate of 126.52. With such sensational numbers, she is also the third-leading run-scorer in the tournament.
Talking about the number three batter in RCB, the franchise could give a chance to Disha Kasat. The Bangalore-based franchise bought the Vidarbha player at her basic price of INR 10 lakh. The uncapped India player will look to deliver her best to the franchise and become an impactful player in the tournament. In November 2022, she struggled to be among runs as featuring for India A in the Senior Women’s T20 Challenger Trophy, the youngster scored only 24 runs in three matches. However, forgetting her previous failures, she will look forward to doing well for her franchise in the upcoming marquee event.
