WPL 2023: ‘Mentor’s Day out with girls’ RCB mentor Sania Mirza gives inspiring talk to Smriti Mandhana & Co ahead of team’s first match against Delhi Capitals
Sania perfect role model says RCB director Mike Hesson
Sania Mirza is a perfect role model in the sport, and her inclusion as Royal Challengers Bangalore’s mentor for the upcoming WPL will inspire the team, feels director of cricket Mike Henson. The 36-year-old six-time Grand Slam winner recently retired from tennis in the Dubai Open, and it’s time for her to inspire the RCB women cricketers.
“No matter what sport you are from, but coming up as an elite and challenging the norms in terms of an athlete, wanting to embrace pressure and how to deal with it, and not be afraid of it, for women’s sport, Sania is a huge icon,” Hesson said during a media interaction.
Hesson said they have plenty of experts to talk about the technical nitty-gritty of the game, and the former world number one in doubles would give their players an edge by talking about the mental challenges they face. It takes you very well to be outside of the game.”
