Sania Mirza has been appointed as a mentor for the RCB women's team ahead of the inaugural Women's Premier League season. The official Twitter account of RCB confirmed the development on Wednesday.
“The pioneer in Indian sports for women, a youth icon, someone who has played Bold and broken barriers throughout her career, and a champion on and off the field. We are proud to welcome Sania Mirza as the mentor of the RCB women’s cricket team,” the RCB wrote.
When asked about what she would bring on board for the Royal Challengers, Mirza stated that handling pressure is key to any sport and she will work with the players on their mental aspect.
Mirza, a former Indian tennis star, was chosen to lead the league given her immense success in the sport and her more recent venture into the business world. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, both on and off the court.
The WPL is India’s premier women’s cricket tournament, featuring the best players from around the country. Sania will be integral in the development of the league and its players.
