'She has got the world at her feet': Legend Ellyse Perry left in awe of RCB's young India star

Ee Sala Cup Namde (The Cup is ours this time) is no more a troll slogan for RCB's rival fans after they finally clinched a title on Sunday. It's now Ee Sala Cup Namdu. The Ee Sala Cup Namde slogan of Royal Challengers Bangalore over the last few years has remained the pet troll of social media army. But not anymore as RCB have finally managed to bring one trophy home, when they defeated Delhi Capitals in the Women's Premier League (WPL) final by eight wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

RCB off-spinner Shreyanka Patil who ended up as the highest wicket-taker in WPL with 13 scalps, shared that sentiment and relief after the triumph.

"They keep saying 'Ee sala cup namde' and we got it. That's it guys, it is for the fans," said Patil.

We felt like family: RCB off-spinner Shreyanka Patil 

She lauded RCB women's head coach Luke Williams for keeping the dressing room calm.

"Day in and day out we put our hard work. We felt like family. We did not know Luke much. During the last game that we won against Mumbai, he had tears. We are looking forward to continuing this," she added.

The talismanic Elysse Perry topped the run-makers' chart in this WPL with 347 runs, and the Australian all-rounder said the support for the teams throughout the event was very heartening.

"Pretty bonkers, to be honest. It's another level for us - the support for all the teams has been phenomenal and it's been unbelievable," she said.
