Virat Kohli is hoping to emulate the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) women’s WPL winning feat. On Sunday, the Royal Challengers defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) to clinch the Women’s Premier League in the second edition itself. However, their male counterparts have been waiting for the victory for the last 16 years.
“It was absolutely amazing. When they won it (WPL), we were watching. Hopefully, we can double it up with the trophies and that will be something truly special,” said Kohli during the RCB Unbox event, reported PTI.
Kohli will start his 17th season with the RCB in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. He said he would bank on his skills and experience to translate the dream of winning the IPL trophy into reality this year.
He said his commitment to RCB and high-intensity approach would remain persistent. Interestingly, Kohli is the highest run-getter in the IPL.
Ahead of this IPL 2024, the Royal Challengers Bangalore has been officially renamed as Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Hall of Fame
Meanwhile, during a function that was attended by RCB skippers Faf du Plessis and Smriti Mandhana, R Vinay Kumar, (former RCB pacer) was inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru women’s team also conducted a trophy walk around the field to loud cheers from a near capacity crowd. The team was given a guard of honour by their male colleagues.
