I loved the way our captain, our Sarpanch, led from the front and how Indian uncapped players dominated this IPL!”
Reflecting on the challenges the team overcame, she added, “This year was unique. We smashed records despite losing key players to injuries and national duty. We paused the tournament, moved home games to other states, and even evacuated a stadium. Still, we adapted, topped the points table after a decade, and fought till the end in an exciting final.”
