WPL 2024: Renuka Has Controlled The Powerplay And Set The Tone For RCB In Both Games, Says Sophie Molineux
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Left-arm spin all-rounder Sophie Molineux, who took three wickets in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s eight-wicket win over Gujarat Giants in WPL 2024, believes India fast-bowler Renuka Thakur had set the tone for the side’s wins in both their matches so far via controlling the run-flow in the power-play.
In WPL 2023, Renuka had a forgettable time by picking just one wicket at an economy of 9.54 in six matches for RCB. But in the ongoing season, Renuka had stepped up to be a pace-bowling mainstay, seen from her new-ball spell of 2-14 and sending Gujarat into a setback from which they could never recover, earning her the Player of the Match award.
"Yeah, Renuka has been incredible in both games and playing against her for India, she's just so reliable and it's great to be on the same team as her. She swings the ball beautifully at the front and I think she's really set the tone for us in both games.
