WPL on the Rise
Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir,
The boost to women’s cricket in India arrived in last year with the WPL auction, which saw winning bids surpassing other women’s leagues and Indian leagues across sports.
Before this year season, the focus was on delivering cricket of quality to engage audiences, which proved successful. This year final, where RCB secured their inaugural title, attracted over fifty thousand fans in Delhi, a remarkable turnout.
WPL is believed to have achieved record viewership for any women’s event globally. This success holds significant implications for Indian cricket, akin to the transformative impact of the IPL.
Just as IPL propelled India into a cricket powerhouse, WPL is poised to do the same for women’s cricket, creating opportunities and enhancing the sport’s infrastructure and global presence. Anticipation for the future is palpable.
