While overseas players have added immense value, the league’s real success lies in the rise of domestic talent. In the first two seasons, players like Shreyanka Patil and Saika Ishaque thrived under pressure, earning national call-ups and making their India debuts.
With each passing season, the list of promising Indian players continues to grow. This edition, with overseas stars like Alyssa Healy, Sophie Molineux, and Kate Cross missing due to injuries, presents a golden opportunity for experienced domestic players and fresh faces to shine.
Defending champions RCB will have their work cut out in their bid to retain the title, with key players from last season—Sophie Devine, Sophie Molineux, and Kate Cross—missing this edition. Devine has taken a break from cricket to prioritize her well-being, while Molineux and Cross are sidelined due to injuries.
Additionally, all-rounder Ellyse Perry, Shreyanka Patil, and Asha Sobhana are recovering from injuries, making RCB’s campaign even more challenging.
