Smriti Mandhana Shuts Comparison With Virat Kohli Ahead of WPL 2023 Game Between RCB-W vs DC-W
Mumbai: After a starry opening night in the inaugural Women’s Premier League at the DY Patil stadium, eyes would be at the Brabourne stadium during the opening game on Sunday where a star-studded Royal Challengers Bangalore lock horns with Delhi Capitals. But among all the RCB stars, it will be the captain Smriti Mandhana, who will have the spotlight on her. Ahead of the game, she shut comparison with Virat Kohli at the pre-match presser claiming the latter has achieved a lot.
“I don’t like the kind of comparison because what he (Kohli) has achieved is amazing. I just hope that I reach that level, but I’m nowhere near. What he has achieved for this franchise (RCB), I would like to try and do that,” Mandhana told reporters.
“Well yeah, definitely a big moment for I think all of us including all the overseas (players) as well because it is first ever WPL match. We have been part of teams where we have played in pressure situations. One thing we always tell and that is the one thing that we have to go and enjoy and have each other’s back,” Mandhana said ahead of RCB’s match against DC at WPL 2023.
