WPL 2026: Pooja Vastrakar Is A Tremendous Addition To RCB, Says Aakash Chopra
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India batter Aakash Chopra believes Pooja Vastrakar’s move to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is a tremendous addition to the side ahead of 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL), saying that she brings in a strong batting quality which isn’t found in other seam bowling options in the country.
Despite her long layoff due to a shoulder surgery, which also led her to miss WPL 2025 season for eventual champions Mumbai Indians, Pooja found significant interest in last month’s mega auction, and eventually RCB roped her in for Rs 85 lakh.
As of now, Pooja is in rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru and is expected to be fit for WPL 2026, to be played from January 9 to February 5 in Navi Mumbai and Vadodara.
