Bell, who was picked up at the auction by RCB, was previously signed by UP Warriorz (UPW) for 2023 and 2024 season, though she pulled out of the later edition. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely been different. Different franchise and obviously RCB are pretty massive.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a crazy few days since I landed \u2026 trying to meet everyone and learn names and learn everything. It\u2019s been really fun and I\u2019m just excited for the first game tonight,\u201d Lauren told broadcasters ahead of the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 23-year-old said she was settling into the RCB environment quickly, and even shared a light-hearted moment with teammate Georgia Wareham at a caf\u00e9 where the pair tried their hand at making coffees. \u201cIt\u2019s a surprise for me. I didn\u2019t know what to expect. I think you don\u2019t want to go into an auction with any expectations. I was obviously buzzing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an amazing franchise that want me. We went to the cafe today and Georgia backed herself as a barista, so they very kindly let us use the machine and make our own coffees. We\u2019ve got a pretty good setup,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nat Sciver-Brunt, Mumbai Indians\u2019 seam-bowling all-rounder, said the franchise\u2019s success is down to the environment they have created in the set-up. \u201cI guess it comes down to the team. It might sound obvious, but different people stood up at different times. The environment we\u2019ve created over the last three years has been really special.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEveryone backs each other, and in those key moments, someone always finds a way to step up. I think so. Not knowing too much on the sidelines, especially during the auction, that was probably the plan. Why change something that\u2019s worked so well for us in this competition? We\u2019ve also made some really good additions, so we\u2019re excited to get the season started tonight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Nat\u2019s entry video also made huge waves and she said it was a fun experience. \u201cI\u2019d be lying if I said that was me, unfortunately! I did get a fright, my brother even asked if it was AI, which I don\u2019t think it was. I\u2019m pretty sure it was a body double. It would\u2019ve been great fun to ride around Mumbai on a motorbike, but I\u2019m not sure team management would\u2019ve been too happy about that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
