WPL 2025: Danni Wyatt Is Strong Contender For RCB's Opening Spot, Says Veda
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India cricketer Veda Krishnamurthy feels that Danni Wyatt, who was traded to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) from UP Warriorz, will be a strong contender for the opening spot to pair with captain Smriti Mandhana at the top in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025. RCB retained their core players like Ellyse Perry, Sophie Devine, Richa Ghosh, Shreyanka Patil and Asha Sobhana apart from captain Smriti, who led them to the title in the 2024 season.
The champion side released Disha Kasat, Indrani Roy, Nadine de Klerk, Heather Knight, Shubha Satheesh, Shraddha Pokharkar and Simran Dil Bahadur ahead of next month's auction.
"It's taken two years for the first trade in the WPL, and RCB has made it happen. RCB have been struggling to find a partner for Smriti Mandhana, and now, with Danni Wyatt, I think she’s a strong contender for that opening spot. Smriti likes stability with her partner at the top, so with Danni, she’ll likely give herself more time to play longer innings. We saw Sophie Devine playing in the middle order for New Zealand, and I think RCB will want to keep her there, where she can provide that power surge for the squad," Veda Krishnamurthy told JioCinema.
