Virat Kohli Video Calls Smriti Mandhana After RCB’s Victory in WPL 2024

Following their spectacular victory in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday, March 17, 2024, Virat Kohli, the former captain of both Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and India, contacted Smriti Mandhana, the captain of RCB’s women’s team, to offer his congratulations and appreciation.

In the nail-biting conclusion, Richa Ghosh hit a critical boundary with the third ball of the last over to give RCB the victory. Ellyse Perry and Ghosh sealed the deal. The touching scene was shown on television when Kohli took a video call with Mandhana and other players, and the RCB support crew proudly showed out the phone on the stadium screens.

This historic event occurred at the same time that Kohli returned to India after his child, Akaay, was born in the UK. The image of women hoisting the WPL trophy was a significant turning point for RCB, as they won their first-ever championship in the 16-year history of the team in both the WPL and the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The coveted trophy and the winning prize of Rs 6 crore went to Mandhana, who expressed that “Ee Sala Cup Namade” (This year, the cup is ours). But in her post-match speech, she explained the phrase by stating, “Ee Sala Cup Namdhu” (This year, the cup is already ours), signifying the team’s resolve and confidence.

The way that Kohli acknowledged and celebrated the accomplishments of the women’s team highlights the sense of harmony and encouragement that exists within the RCB family.
