WPL 2024: The JSW and GMR Co-owned team Delhi Capitals are working hard to get ready for the Women’s Premier League 2024 under Meg Lanning to improve on their runners-up finish from the previous campaign.
Speaking after her first training session with the team in Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals captain Meg Lanning said, “It’s nice to get out here, have a bit of run around. Everyone looks in really good nick. There is a lot of improvement from everyone, and I’m super excited to see what we can produce this year.”
Legendary Meg Lanning guided the team to an almost flawless first-ever WPL season. Although they won the league stage, they only missed out on taking home the championship the previous year.
“Opening the batting with Shafali was a lot of fun” – Meg Lanning
When she was asked about her best experience from the first season, she said, “I loved the time last year. Opening the batting with Shafali was a lot of fun and it is something I’m looking forward to again this year. I think as a group, we gelled nicely. It was a very easy group, nice to hang out on and off the field, we seemed to be able to come together, so it was a lot of fun. I’m sure this year it’s going to be much the same.”
