They rounded off their purchasing spree in the opening set by acquiring the services of iconic Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry for ₹1.70 crore.

Ardent RCB fans were elated to see the arrival of elite international players like Smriti Mandhana, Ellyse Perry, Sophie Devine, Richa Ghosh, and Renuka Singh in their squad for the upcoming inaugural WPL. They expressed their excitement by sharing memes on Instagram and Twitter.

RCB have assembled strong core of players at the WPL 2023 Auction

Indian vice-captain Smriti Mandhana is one of the top batters in women's international cricket. Across 112 T20I games, she has accumulated 2651 runs, including 20 half-centuries.

Mandhana also played franchise cricket in WBBL and the Hundred and went on to impress. Ellyse Perry and Sophie Devine, who will accompany her in the Bangalore team, are vastly experienced and proven T20I all-rounders.

RCB have managed to assemble a strong core of players before the accelerated round with aggressive bidding. They will look to build a balanced team around this group during the latter stages of the auction.
