RCB Team 2025: After a disappointing inaugural edition of the Women's Premier League where the team failed to live up to the expectations, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) bounced back to win the WPL 2024 title. That too, by beating Delhi Capitals, one of the most consistent sides in the WPL so far. Smriti Mandhana and her team won what was the first-ever title for the RCB franchise and it was celebrated all over by fans. Fans would not forget how Smriti Mandhana's 'Ee Sala Cup Namdu' (this year the cup is ours) had gone viral after RCB had won a title after a wait of 16 long years.
