Squad
ONLY THREE SPECIALIST BATTERS! The RCB doesn’t think they need specialist batters to win a T20 tournament. Is this the mantra to win a T20 competition? Well, I don’t know. But putting all of your trust in all-rounders and bowlers doesn’t seem to be correct. Instead, they have five specialist bowlers! You can count their two wicketkeepers as batters, but their training time will be divided. Let’s see how this combination plays out.

Captain
The Indian opener will lead the RCB women in their first season. As a player, you do not need to see if she has the ability.

Also, ICC awarded her the Rachael Heyhoe-Flint Award for the best female cricketer of the year the same year. Later, in 2021, she was named ICC Women’s T20 Player of the Year. Do I have to mention more? Well, even if I wanted to, I could not. The list is too extensive.
