Reactions To The RCB Win In WPL 2024

Royal Challengers Bangalore secured an eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in the final of the 2024 Women’s Premier League. This win may be about a tournament – and hence, one team defeating the other, but it’s more than that. The celebrations are proof that this one victory comes down to women winning.

This also means a lot for women’s cricket, and that changes a lot of things. Especially when cricket is a sport associated with men, and for men.

These reactions are just one exhibit:

RCB women's team's success in the WPL final showcases the transformative power of sports in breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and promoting gender equality.#WPLFinal #RCB

If u had told me a few years ago that crowds would flood the streets, block roads to celebrate a women's league title win, would have brushed it off. The scale of these celebrations signifies a paradigm shift, could well redefine the landscape of women's cricket in this country https://t.co/7eZ9TZYqlg

Have never been an RCB fan but it’s so much fun to see Bangalore erupting in joy after last night’s win- I know there’s a tremendous fan base but I did not think the support would be to this level, across gender! Augurs very well for women’s cricket…#WIPL

cricket fans went from “who will even watch women’s playing cricket” to “RCB is killing it in WPL finals” real quick.

It was important for women cricket that RCB win

‘Mornings after RCB win’ are already a different high but ‘THE MORNING AFTER RCB WON A TROPHY’ is just ecstasy PURE UNADULTERATED SWARGA THIS IS!

Clearly, this is a victory to remember.
