I’d like to play for RCB: Danielle Wyatt
When asked about her favourite IPL team, and the team that she wished to play for in the Indian Premier League, Danielle Wyatt took the name of RCB.
"I don't mind any team, really. But I support Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) because they have/had Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Moeen Ali, Yuzvendra Chahal, and AB de Villiers. So, RCB would be cool. I'd like to play for them."
