"We could've got a better start from me"- RCB captain Smriti Mandhana after loss vs DC in WPL 2025
At the post-match presentation, RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana reflected on the loss, saying: (via Cricbuzz)
"Pez (Ellyse Perry) batted really well for us to get us to 145 runs. We could've got a better start from me. Batting wise on that wicket, still feel that 145 was a good effort. It did play on the slower side - was the fourth match on the same wicket."
She continued:
"We could've adapted better. Raghvi is a 20-year-old. She was trying her best. We definitely did not think that (retiring Raghvi). The way she ended her innings was good for her. Renuka has been brilliant for us throughout. We all have a week out before the next match. A lot of reflection for sure. That's how cricket is sometimes."
