BCCI Secretary: The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023’s maiden season is set to start on March 4, and on March 2 BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced the tournament’s official mascot.
The competition’s official mascot is called “Shakti,” and she is a tigress dressed in a blue jersey. The BCCI also unveiled a thrilling tournament song as an homage to the female cricketers who overcame all hurdles to excel at the sport’s highest level.
“Quick, ferocious, and filled with fire! Lekin #YehTohBasShuruatHai, she’s prepared to light up the field! Presenting #Shakti, our mascot and representative of the #TATAWPL! As Jay Shah debuted Shakti,” he tweeted.
Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians square off in the WPL opener.
On March 4 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai Indians—captained by Indian Harmanpreet Kaur—will play Gujarat Giants in the WPL’s inaugural season opener. The Giants will be led by Beth Mooney as they attempt to snag a victory over an all-star MI lineup.
Ashleigh Gardner, Sneh Rana, Beth Mooney, and Harleen Deol are just a few of the many players who would have a significant impact on their team in their pursuit of a title victory. GG also has a line-up full of superstars. In addition to these two teams, Royal Challengers Bangalore has an outstanding roster. Smriti Mandhana, Ellyse Perry, and Sophie Devine are just a few of the players helping RCB make a compelling case for why they should be favoured over the opposition.
The Delhi Capitals were one team that was very strategic with their purchases during the WPL auctions, but they still managed to assemble a potent starting lineup with players like Jemimah Rodrigues, Meg Lanning, Shafali Verma, and Radha Yadav. Given their powerful batting lineup and six-time T20 World Cup champion Lanning as the captain, it wouldn’t be surprising if DC made it far into the inaugural WPL and even won it.
