RCB’s given us more than we asked for – Radha Yadav

As things got tricky in the end for RCB with them losing three quick wickets, they needed a stable show to take them across the finish line. Radha Yadav took over the reins and ensured that she helped RCB along the way to seize their second crown in the history of WPL.

Up against Sree Charani, Radha hammered her for two fours, snuffing out any resistance whatsoever as RCB lifted the WPL trophy for the second time. Talking in an interview post the game, Radha opened up on the mood in the dugout while concluding on a promise for the future.

Underlining the dynamics of the entire tournament and how the RCB management helped the girls in every way possible, Radha said (translated from Hindi), “Everyone is very happy. This team has worked very hard. The management has backed the players and given us whatever we asked for. They've actually given us more than we asked for.”

She further added, “This win is for them. As players we put in the hard work - sometimes we get the result, sometimes we don't. But the hard work put in by the management - hats off to them. We used to do situational practice - trying to achieve a certain number of runs in a certain number of balls. Our management helped a lot. Whatever skills we had, how can we improve on that? They backed us to find those ways.”

Talking about her form in the middle, Radha added, “Can do better. Haven't played to my potential yet. Will keep working hard and maybe I'll win us a World Cup, you never know, we'll see.”

She also shed some light on what the girls did during the break ahead of the final, stating, “We had gone for a little trip. Took time off (in the last few days) and didn't think about cricket at all. Was the management's decision to give us some time off so that we come back fresh and recharged.”

She concluded by ranking this WPL triumph, stating, “My first IPL title. World Cup is obviously is first and above this. This comes second.”
