Went under the radar but Swapnil yesterday -
- Bowled 2 overs for just 13 runs
- Crucial run out of Rachin; DK was shouting to throw at the Non strikers end but took the right call in throwing to the keeper
- Dhoni’s catch under immense pressure
IMPACT PLAYER 📈
Just going through RCB IG and the level of engagement on RCBW posts are insane… Likes and comment on each posts, They actually are on par or better than the reach of some of the IPL mens team post. This is really nice to see and good for the WPL as a whole
Random thought but RCB being one of the bigger teams in IPL does not have its own Academy. If you look at it, MI, CSK, DC, KKR, RR & even LSG a 2 year old franchise has its own Academy. Having an academy helps in grassroot talent development and also serves as HPC.

If script writers are listening, getting 1st wins in WPL against MI and DC in eliminator / finals and winning the whole thing would be such a RCB thing to do 👍
A few hours after Virat Kohli posted his yo-yo test score on social media, the Indian team management asked its players to ‘avoid’ putting their fitness scores in the public domain.

It's a shame, but they should definitely think about investing in one. Karnataka being one of the talent powerhouses will help RCB in identifying and nurturing talent early on. This also would be commercially viable for them in the long run. Giving back to the community too (2/2)
@_astrrrid
She really did put lots of efforts in rebuilding the team & setting up the team culture 👏🏼 another part in the same article stood out for me, how she gave confidence to SP while she was down. True leader! also Her handling of Virats question in interviews - Smart & Articulate
For RCB, like other teams they should strengthen their batting and add Bracewell over Hasaranga for the MI match.. like RR and DC, adding extra OS batters to their 11. This will at least add depth to their batting which has been mediocre In the middle overs.

Doesn't get the respect he deserves. These are career stats for players and he did it in 3 years. People should just celebrate it, but here they are waiting for his failure to pull him further down. Whatever is left of his career, people should just relish it. You never know
Riyan Parag to RCB will be the right move. He just fits perfectly in this team. Change in setup will definitely work just like it did with Maxwell. Will get to play alongside Virat who he looks upto.
Me and my fellow RCB supporters expecting this team to turn up when it matters 😭
Playoff qualification is all we ask ATM. 1 game at a time, no Disappointment please.

@vishalmisra
This is confusing. Did Kohli's innings in MCG 2022 come in a big match?
If yes, are T20 World Cup league matches big too?
If yes, against which oppositions and why?
"Legacy" is vague and subjective, no?
Rahul Dravid for RCB Director of Operations? Thoughts?
Local legend, Influential with his contacts at BCCI & NCA, help in talent identification & development by associating with KSCA (opening a RCB academy maybe). Operations focussed.
If not what are the other options.
#RCB
The kind of performances from Hasaranga at the LPL, RCB and Andy Flower should maybe look to retain him and make better use of his batting. Don't know why they didn't promote him in the middle overs instead of sending DK and Harshal
Also not to forget, Perry literally putting her body on line for those fielding efforts in the end.. it did not come off, but just the sheer commitment. It’s just inspiring to see
Dhawan said "When my name was not there for Asian games, I was a bit shocked but then I was like they have a different thought process, you just need to accept it - happy that Rutu will lead the side - all are young boys, I am sure they will do well". [PTI]

Watching it in a theatre elevates the experience actually, cinematography is really good. Will not get the same experience watching on small screens
@poserarcher
It will be good for Indian cricket if they scrap this rule soon. Looks like this was introduced for teams to cover up any weakness. Although it does help with taking out toss advantage/dew. In the long run, it will hurt Indian cricket.
How is asking someone to field at the boundary disrespectful? Everyone has done it before. As a team player you should be able to adapt to situations. The amount of sympathy/targeted posts I have seen here and on IG, it just looks like a massive PR war at this point.
Hype around the RCB unbox event is great. But this time, want them to announce something meaningful & not just anything gimmicky.
Give me RCB Academy/High performance centre announcements. Being the OG IPL team, it’s a shame that we don’t have an academy. Make good use of the💰
Sometimes all you need to do is just keep grinding. Someday, something will happen & your life may change. He kept posting with not many likes here & meets an unknown person 1 day & bang a video is viral with over a million Twitter views. Universe works in a mysterious way ✨🙌
RCB making some great recruitments for mens & womens team. First Andy Flower for Mens & now Luke Williams to W team who recently coached Strikers & Southern Brave to titles. With the team they have & the experience the uncapped players have gained, W team have a great chance
#RCB
I don’t fcking care about the crowd support or the fact that we have never won a game against them. I want my team to go out there and give their best performance and make today a night to remember. Celebrate it like there’s no tomorrow, with the fans.
ITS NOW OR NEVER 💪🏼
Devine may not have had a great season but what she did off field definitely helped the team. Just being that person who brings the fun element, keeping the environment light. Sometimes a healthy team environment is the key to success. Charlotte Edwards always has that 1 person
@WAS_VISHU
I have noticed too… Just check WPL handle collaboration posts with every WPL team.. RCB post always has great numbers compared to other teams. Might get bashed for saying but RCB is really helping WPL reach greater audiences and getting more people to watch the game

With the women's team selection, India has gone 2 steps backward. Dropping your best finisher for fitness issue when you don't have a reliable option is so dumb. Looking at Aus & Eng teams with players coming at 8/9 who can clear ropes, you drop Richa when your team has only 4 👍
@gurkiratsgill
- Try the local Masala Dosa from any of the famous joints (Vidhyarthi, MTR, CTR etc)
- Try Biriyani (Meghana, Nagarjuna, Shivaji Military, Donne biriyani etc)
- Visit Brigade Road, Church Street at night for some nice vibes (Lot of Pubs, RCB cafe)
- Take a walk in cubbon Park
Molineux really turned the match in that single over. Jemi and Capsey playing those shots did help us though. I had my concerns with Molineux in the 11 at one point because of her batting ability but boy did she come in clutch for the team. 👏🏼
But Richa, what a player man 🔥 At 20, she is pulling off chases like this. Maturity at such young age, range of shots she has and just brute power. Once she works on fitness, there’s literally nothing stopping this star girl 🌟 RCB should be giving her the life long contract
Playing 11?
Smriti
Devine
Perry
Knight
Kanika
Richa
** SLA
Shreyanka
Asha
** OS Fast bowler
Renuka
OS Targets?
- Sutherland, Gibson, Wareham, Prendergast, F Kemp
- Ismail, Wellington, K Garth, S Glenn, C Knott
- Pick Associate Player maybe? Bryce, Norris

@ShubhamShawarma
Hmmm I wouldn't full agree, but the 3 players have elevated the brand to a new level. RCB has always enjoyed good domestic fans support from the start. VK, ABD & Gayle have certainly helped in gaining fandom pan India & other parts of the world.. but yes not a serious franchise!
@Pradhyoth1
Yeaa, they had corporate championships as well. Vijay Mallya was the man with a vision, he was way ahead of the curve. Just going through old videos, it was a different vibe when he was at the helm. The current management is just minting money
@inaminatikaa
One thing we should not have done is open with both Kohli and Faf. Though they did brilliantly, it was never a sensible option to open with your 2 premier batters batting in the easier powerplay phase. This made the middle order weak. Maybe could have tried Anuj and Kohli / Faf
RCB should be retaining Topley. Hazlewood is good but Topley brings more to the table. The only concern is the fitness issue. Let's see what Andy makes of this squad. Waiting for the mini Auction.
@awcwvlc
You can't have it both ways! Deleting your tweet does not mean you did not make that statement.. now taking the moral high ground. It's because of these deleted tweets there is hate amongst fans. People love the Australian team here. You don't have to advocate for it!
For my own mental wellbeing, will be following IPL through Cricinfo scorecards for a few days. Can’t let these mfs to ruin my mental peace. 3 month is too much to take👍🏼
Renuka should not be part of the national team in SC conditions. Offers nothing. Just so poor man.. Shikha and Arundathi better bowlers. RCB release her please, I am done
Good for RCB. Not sure you will get more support in BLR for other WPL teams like in Mumbai. But this expansion of women's cricket out of Mumbai was needed to grow the game. Delhi is a good venue too with good crowds.
@__ratna__deep
Yes. Parnel will offer you that Left arm variation, good options at death and some batting if required. Hazlewood has not been that effective coming back from injury, has been predictable with lenghts he bowls..
It must be a surreal feeling for all the girls experiencing these celebration and support. Just the high man.. crazy fandom.. soo good to see. Just saying it again, RCB winning this season has really elevated WPL to another level. It will only grow from here
Let the man do whatever he wants with his time when he said he wanted out due to Mental fatigue. Time with family or partying in Dubai, does not matter. Whatever makes him happy and refreshed.

If he had clicked in 2021 when he got the opportunity, we'd have great chances that year too. Still remember how some people reacted negatively when he was called up as a replacement in 2022. But he completely smashed it for RCB last year
Wareham what a player man 👏👏 🔥
Some changes required in the team
- Although Meghana has contributed in our wins, she has been below par in our defeats especially run chases. Need to bring in Shubha or Disha for SDB
- If you are playing Ekta, bring NDK or Cross for Molineux
😂 when are these guys training man.. must be really hard to manage schedule with yesterdays unbox event, shoots, travels, Sponsor commitments and training with match on Friday.
Smriti has become a more leg side dominant player in the Hundred. Not playing many shots on the offside. Even in today's innings, most of her runs came on the leg side.
@ImAbhay3
Feel bad for her, with Wareham and King ahead in the national setup, there is very little chance of her playing even with good performances. She is always excited for these leagues and WPL.. must be really disappointing for her not getting a chance in the WPL. Hope she does well
@UtdArc
But Harsha could have done better, it felt flat. Maybe he was emotionally invested and could not bring out the right words live. If you ask now, he will have paragraphs to describe that moment
The amount of hate Virat gets on this platform is so nauseating. It gets overwhelming reading them pop on your TL. Especially during Ind v Pak games.. All the negativity, hate and trolls from both sides. He does seem to read things on SM but he should just stay away from it
😭 give people what they want
@RCBTweets
. So much love for this team everywhere in Bangalore. RCB Chants in fest, pubs, concerts, stadiums and random places.. atp I am more confident of the women's team winning the tournament first than the men's
Just feel that RCBs lower order is a little weak. Molineux not a power hitter, Shreyanka’s batting just not there yet. If management continues to underutilise SP / SDBs bowling, I would just bring an extra bat in Shubha or Disha. Would bring some stability in the lower order
@KohlifiedGal
I read somewhere here on Twitter during IPL that the original trophy will remain with name inscribed with IPL / BCCI and a replica trophy is given to the franchisee for winning.. maybe that's the case here too. Don't think they will be travelling with the trophies
Games like this are so hard to take. Not taking wickets in the powerplay is really hurting the team. Renuka has been mediocre, should not really be playing for India in SC conditions. RCB should release her next year. Play NDK in place of SM. Again back to calculator.. FML
