WPL 2024: Smriti Mandhana, Meg Lanning – Similar Yet Different Leaders On The Cusp Of Trophy
When Royal Challengers Bangalore: There is a thread which connect Smriti Mandhana and Meg Lanning –- of being run-makers who send opposition bowlers in a tizzy when on song. But on Sunday, when they take the field for the final of the 2024 Women's Premier League (WPL) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, they will also have another common thread added -– leading their teams in the title clash of the tournament.
At the same time, they are different as leaders on the cricket field. Captaining the Delhi Capitals, Meg is enjoying life in franchise cricket after calling it quits at the international level. With seven World Cup titles and a Commonwealth Games gold medal, Meg is tactically astute and is credited for bringing the best out of people, seen in DC making their second straight WPL final.
On the other hand, Smriti has previously filled in as India’s captain when Harmanpreet Kaur was unavailable. When Royal Challengers Bangalore finished fourth in WPL 2023, Smriti was far from her expected best as a leader. But this time, she has been more assured and proactive in leading RCB to their first WPL final.
