Australian and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Ellyse Perry made a dramatic entry to join the franchise ahead of the third edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL). In a video shared by the franchise on its social media handle on February 11, Tuesday, the star cricketer entered their camp with the music of former WWE Superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Perry played an integral role in RCB's WPL 2024 win, finishing as the highest run-getter of the tournament, scoring 347 runs at 69.40 in nine innings, striking at a decent 125.72. Additionally, the 34-year-old also snared seven wickets at 15.77. The RCB are the defending champions, beating the Delhi Capitals by eight wickets in the final in 2024.

With Perry's teammates concerned due to the all-rounder not joining their base yet, she kicked off her entrance as Steve Austin's theme played in the background. The veteran cricketer immediately said, "I'm here, let's do it."

RCB squad for WPL 2025:

Smriti Mandhana (c), Sabbineni Meghana, Richa Ghosh, Ellyse Perry, Georgia Wareham, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Sophie Devine, Renuka Singh, Sophie Molineux, Ekta Bisht, Kate Cross, Kanika Ahuja, Danni Wyatt (traded), Prema Rawat (Rs. 1.20 crore), Joshitha VJ (Rs. 10 lakh), Raghvi Bist (Rs. 10 lakh),  Jagravi Pawar (Rs. 10 lakh)

However, the franchise has been derailed by the unavailability of the likes of Sophie Devine, Sophie Molineux and Kate Cross. The opening match of the tournament is between RCB and Gujarat Giants on February 14 in Vadodara.
