After being acquired by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for Rs 3.4 crore,
India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana said she is excited to join RCB camp and
don the red-gold jersey in the inaugural Women’s Premier League.
Royal Challengers Bangalore broke the bank for Mandhana and bought the
stylish batter at a whopping sum of Rs 3.40 crore, the highest bid at the
auction so far. The opener led to a massive bidding war between two
franchises, with both Mumbai Indians and RCB breaking the bank to sign the
southpaw.
“We have been watching auction of men’s. It is such a big moment for women
to have an auction of this sort. The whole thing is exacting,” Smriti
Mandhana said in a video posted by Royal Challengers Bangalore on Twitter.
