UP Warriorz skipper Deepti Sharma bowled out her RCB counterpart Smriti Mandhana during the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday, February 24. Mandhana managed only six runs off nine deliveries before being dismissed, leaving the hosts at 23/1.

This marked the third time Deepti had taken Mandhana’s wicket, with one dismissal in each of the first three WPL seasons. The breakthrough came in the fourth over of RCB’s innings. Deepti delivered a length ball on middle and off stump, and Mandhana attempted a cut shot despite the lack of room.

She ended up inside-edging the ball onto her off stump. Deepti, delighted with the key wicket, celebrated with her teammates. Posting the video on X, the official WPL handle captioned:

“Castled! Deepti Sharma wins the captain battle against Smriti Mandhana!”
