WPL 2026: Backing From Mandhana Has Given Me Lots Of Confidence At RCB, Says Bell
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Lauren Bell has emerged as the most economical force in this season's Women's Premier League (WPL), and has attributed her success in the competition to the backing from skipper Smriti Mandhana giving her lots of confidence.
Lauren has taken 12 wickets in eight games at an average of 15 and an economy rate of 5.63 with a strike-rate of 16. But the numbers also tell about the England pacer’s story of relentless accuracy - 116 dot balls, which is 13 more than nearest rival, Delhi Capitals all-rounder Marizanne Kapp.
“I think she knew me really well before I came here because I've obviously played with her more on a personal level and as a friend. Then out here, I've obviously got to know her as a captain and she's been amazing. She's been so clear and has really backed me, as well as giving me lots of confidence.
