Royal Challengers Bengaluru scripted history on February 5 by defeating Delhi Capitals by six wickets to lift their second Women’s Premier League title. The win sparked celebrations across the RCB fanbase, with Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma sharing her joy over the team’s WPL 2026 triumph.
Anushka Sharma celebrates RCB Women’s win
On Friday, Anushka took to Instagram to post a picture of the RCB Women’s team lifting the trophy for the second time. Reacting to the moment, she wrote, “RCB Women do it again. History, repeated.” Her post quickly drew attention, given her long association with the franchise through her husband, Virat Kohli, a former captain of the RCB men’s team.
The WPL 2026 final saw a dominant batting display from RCB. Skipper Smriti Mandhana and Georgia Voll put together a match-winning partnership that shifted the momentum firmly in RCB’s favour. Smriti smashed 87 runs off just 41 balls, while Georgia scored a quickfire 79 off 54 deliveries. Chasing a challenging target of 203, RCB reached 204/4 in 19.4 overs, with Radha Yadav sealing the win by hitting two consecutive fours.
