WPL 2026: Covered Lot Of Roles With Four Retentions, Go Into Auction With Absolute Clarity, Says Rangarajan
Nuzhat Parween Heather Graham: Malolan Rangarajan, the newly appointed head coach of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), said retaining skipper Smriti Mandhana, wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh, seam-bowling all-rounder Ellyse Perry, and off-spin bowling all-rounder Shreyanka Patil has helped them cover a lot of areas and go into the mega auction with total clarity.
RCB confirmed the retention spend stands at INR8.85 crore into four players – Smriti being top pick with INR 3.5 crore, followed by Richa at INR 2.75 crore, Ellyse at INR 2 crore, and Shreyanka getting INR 60 lakh. It leaves them with INR 6.15 crore heading into the mega auction and one Right to Match (RTM) card.
“This gives us a solid base with having secured the services of a captain and an opening batter, a wicket keeper and a powerful middle order batter, a top order all-rounder who can give us a little bit of seam-bowling plus an Indian off spinner.”
