Shreyanka Patil made a strong impact in Indian women’s cricket during the 2024 Women’s Premier League, winning the Purple Cap and helping Royal Challengers Bengaluru win the title. However, her journey was marred by injuries, forcing her to miss major tournaments like the 2024 T20 World Cup and 2025 ODI World Cup. During her recovery period at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence, she sought advice from Jasprit Bumrah, who shared his own experiences with injuries and resilience.
As she gears up for the WPL 2026, Shreyanka aims to excel in death bowling, inspired by Bumrah’s expertise in handling pressure situations. She returned to action in T20 games in Karnataka and the Caribbean Premier League, building towards her comeback with RCB. Seeking guidance on practicing yorkers and handling pressure situations, Shreyanka turned to Bumrah for advice.
With a renewed focus on excelling in the upcoming WPL season, Shreyanka is determined to make a strong comeback as RCB faces Mumbai Indians in the tournament opener.
