    WPL 2026: Being Told Of Retention By RCB Left Me ‘blank,’ Reveals Shreyanka Patil

    Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Shreyanka Patil said she was left ‘blank’ and later broke down in tears of joy after being informed of her retention by the 2024 WPL champions, despite missing more than a year of cricket due to injuries.

    The off-spinner finished as WPL 2024’s leading wicket-taker with 13 scalps, earning the Purple Cap and the Emerging Player of the Season award as RCB reached the title. However, she missed WPL 2025 due to grade-three shin splints that relapsed, as well as a stress reaction in her right wrist.

    Shreyanka then fractured her thumb while fielding during India’s bowlers’ camp at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in June and has been in action since playing for Barbados Royals in the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL). With RCB retaining her for Rs 60 lakh, Shreyanka will be keen to find her way back to consistent play when the side opens their campaign against defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Friday.
