WPL 2025: Sneh Rana Joins RCB As A Replacement For Injured Shreyanka Patil
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Off-spinner all-rounder Shreyanka Patil has been ruled out of the rest of 2025 Women’s Premier League (WPL), with defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) signing up the veteran Sneh Rana as her replacement.
Sneh, who is a like-for-like replacement for Shreyanka in the RCB camp, has previously played and captained Gujarat Giants (GG) in the WPL. She now joins the Smriti Mandhana-led franchise for INR 30 lakh. Her presence will lend more experience to the RCB spin-bowling line-up, who have now lost their first-choice spin bowlers.
Shreyanka, who has played 15 matches for RCB and has scalped 19 wickets since 2023, is ruled out of the third edition of the WPL due to an injury. She was the leading wicket-taker in WPL 2024 with 13 scalps in eight matches, including taking 4-12 in the final against Delhi Capitals, to set up RCB’s maiden title win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
