Ravi Shastri Amazed as Smriti Mandhana Receives Massive Cheer in WPL 2024 Final

In sports, it’s common knowledge that the home team benefits from home fan support, but this wasn’t the case on Sunday in Delhi during the Women’s Premier League (WPL) final between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The fans gave Delhi captain Meg Lanning a dismal reception at the toss. Conversely, when RCB captain Smriti Mandhana approached presenter Ravi Shastri to strike up a conversation, the Delhi audience went bonkers.

Former India head coach Shastri was taken aback by the enthusiastic applause for Mandhana from the crowd and remarked, “I know this is Delhi but it seems like Bengaluru.”

In the final at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Lanning chose to bat first after winning the toss. Since we believe it is our greatest chance to win the game, we will bat tonight. We will need to bat well since the pitch seems decent. “It doesn’t matter what has happened in t

he past; we have to play well because we are facing a formidable team,” she declared after winning the toss.

Sabbhineni Meghana, a right-handed top-order batsman, replaces left-arm fast bowler Shraddha Pokharkar in the playing eleven, according to Mandhana. Pokharkar did not bowl in Friday’s five-run victory over the Mumbai Indians.

“It doesn’t really go well, I think. We will have to bowl well, stick to our plans, and play some good cricket.” We also would have batted first. Though we’ve already experienced many highs and lows, we must perform at our highest level tonight. The previous game, which was played slowly, was the fourth match on the same wicket, the woman remarked.
