Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have suffered a major setback as Shreyanka Patil has been ruled out of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 due to injury.
According to sources that all-rounder Sneh Rana has joined the RCB camp and has been with the team for the past few days. Rana, who was unsold in last year’s WPL auction after being released by Gujarat Giants, now gets a fresh opportunity.
Before the tournament, Shreyanka was seen in RCB’s promotional videos, but she didn’t feature in their opening match against Gujarat Giants (GG) on February 14 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.
This raised doubts about her availability, which were later confirmed when she shared an emotional social media post, writing, “Heartbroken, but I will fly again.”

Shreyanka's performance in WPL 2024
Shreyanka had a fantastic WPL 2024, winning the Purple Cap and taking four wickets in the final against Delhi Capitals (DC). However, injuries have troubled her, including a finger injury last season and another setback during the Women’s Asia Cup against Pakistan, which forced her to miss the remaining games.
Gujarat Giants Off to a strong start in WPL 2025
In the opening match, Gujarat Giants set a massive target of 201/5 after batting first. Skipper Ashleigh Gardner played a blistering knock of 79 off 37 balls*, smashing 3 fours and 8 sixes. Opener Beth Mooney also contributed with a solid 56 off 42 balls.
For RCB, Renuka Singh Thakur was the pick of the bowlers, taking 2 wickets, while Kanika Ahuja, Georgia Wareham, and Prema Rawat picked up one wicket each.
