“Started watching cricket cos of him. Grew up dreaming to be like him. And last night, had the moment of my life. Virat said, “Hi Shreyanka, well bowled.” He actually knows my name,” Shreyanka wrote on X formerly known as Twitter.

Her standout performances throughout the tournament, including crucial wickets in the final against Delhi Capitals where she dismissed key players like Meg Lanning, Minnu Mani, and Taniya Bhatia, showcased her talent and resilience. Shreyanka’s figures of 4/12 in the final helped RCB restrict Delhi Capitals to 113 runs, paving the way for a successful chase and ultimately securing the championship title.
