Tennis legend Sania Mirza has been named as the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team’s WPL 2023 mentor. Before the tournament’s first season, Mirza, who has won six Grand Slam titles and 43 WTA titles, will work with the team because, in the words of the franchise, “the players can relate and respond to her readily in a team atmosphere.” Smriti Mandhana, Ellyse Perry, and Richa Ghosh were among the players that RCB was able to purchase at the WPL Auction. Mandhana, who went for a record price of Rs. 3.4 crore, experienced an incredibly amazing occasion.

Rajesh V. Menon, Head and Vice President of RCB, commented on Sania Mirza’s appointment as Mentor, saying, “We are delighted and honoured to welcome Sania Mirza as the mentor of RCB Women’s team.” She is the ideal role model since, despite several obstacles in her playing career, she overcame them all through sheer hard work, enthusiasm, and drive. Sania is a role model for our younger generation and she can inspire and motivate our squad since she is an extremely competitive athlete who knows how to handle pressure in a variety of situations at the highest level of sports. Her gravitas, gravitas, and attitude will encourage the team and add the much-needed panache to make them into a Bold Personality.

Sania Mirza, who has received the Padma Bhushan, Arjuna Award, and Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna, commented on her new position as RCB women’s team mentor, saying, “It is a joy for me to join the RCB women’s squad as a mentor. The Women’s Premier League has caused a seismic shift in Indian women’s cricket, and I am very excited to play on this ground-breaking field. Given how I conducted my playing career and how I envision contributing to sports once I retire, RCB and its brand philosophy completely aligns with my vision and mindset.”
