The RCB women's team secured a resounding victory over Delhi Capitals women's team, clinching the WPL 2024 title with an emphatic eight-wicket win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. Virat Kohli, who has been an integral part of the RCB franchise for years, was visibly thrilled by the success of the women's team, despite the men's team still chasing their elusive title.

Following their stunning performance on the field, RCB women's players including captain Smriti Mandhana were seen engaging in a heartfelt conversation with Virat Kohli on a video call.
