[Saba Sports News] The Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) historic win in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 final has sent a wave of celebration through the cricketing world. Not only did the RCB women secure the franchise’s first-ever title, but they have also brought immense pride to the entire franchise, as evident by the outpouring of congratulations from legendary players like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle.
Leading the charge was former RCB men’s batter Virat Kohli. He went above and beyond a simple social media post, choosing to personally congratulate the women’s team via video call. This heartfelt gesture underscores the significance of their achievement and the sense of family within the RCB organization.
The well-wishes did not stop there. Former RCB batter AB de Villiers, another fan favorite, took to social media to shower praise on the champions.

RCB legend Chris Gayle, known for his flamboyant personality, is likely to have sent his congratulations in a similarly enthusiastic manner.
RCB-W champions of WPL. Congrats on an outstanding season. Finally Ee Sala Cup Namdu. #WPLFinal @dafabet 🙌🏿

This WPL win could be a turning point for the RCB franchise. The men’s team, despite boasting incredible talent like Kohli, de Villiers and Gayle, have not been able to clinch the IPL title. Could the women’s team’s success inspire a similar championship run for the men this IPL season? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the RCB family is celebrating a momentous victory, and the cricketing world is eagerly awaiting the men’s team’s performance in IPL 2024.
