Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The tag of defending champion sits pretty easy on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru women's team as they gear up to defend their title in the upcoming Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025. But for India star Shreyanka Patil, it is a surreal experience as the fact that she is part of the defending champions is yet to sink in.
She said she is still processing the feeling and looking forward to representing RCB. "Being the defending champions is a big tag for us, and I’m still processing it. I feel like it will truly sink in once the season camp starts, and then I’ll be like, “Okay, fine, I’m into the next one.” It’s been a surreal moment for all of us—Karnataka fans and RCB fans alike," said Shreyanka on Wednesday.
Shreyanka said life has changed for them after RCB won the title last year as they were given a grand welcome. She was welcomed by a festive atmosphere when they returned home after winning the title as people from all over Karnataka were celebrating their triumph.
