The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have struck a deal! No, it’s not any IPL 2025 retention update but the Women’s Premier League (WPL) champions have brought in Danni Wyatt-Hodge ahead of WPL 2025.
Kohli’ fan girl, Danni Wyatt?
Who is Danni Wyatt? Well, she’s the same talented England batting all-rounder, who proposed RCB icon Virat Kohli! Back in 2014, Wyatt wrote on Twitter “Kohli marry me!” Well, Kohli told Wyatt not to propose on Twitter, saying, “They (people) take things seriously.” Apart from all this gossip, Wyatt will pose the RCB jersey come the WPL 2025. She is touted to open the batting with RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana. Mandhana and Wyatt both know each other well as they even open the batting for the Southern Braves in Women’s Hundred as well.
Wyatt will move to RCB women’s side for her existing fee of Rs 30 lac. It is the same amount that the UP Warriorz paid for her during the WPL 2024 auction. However, Wyatt warmed the bench all season, seeing her franchise finish fourth. Regardless, this is a shrewd move for RCB, who will look to retain their championship. The 33-year-old is quite an aggressive opener, who has hammered almost 3,000 runs at a strike rate of 127.85 and at an average of 22.91 for England in WT20Is.
