Shreyanka Patil Becomes Youngest WPL Five‑Wicket Taker as RCB Go 3–0

The off-spinner returned from a 14-month layoff to deliver her first T20 five-for that set up a 32-run win over Gujarat Giants.

Overview

Patil took 5 for 23 at DY Patil Stadium to close out Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s 182-run defense in a 32-run victory over Gujarat Giants.
Her haul is the first five-wicket return of her T20 career and a WPL record for the youngest bowler to achieve the feat.
She removed Beth Mooney in the powerplay and added the wickets of Kanika Ahuja, Kashvee Gautam, Tanuja Kanwar and Renuka Singh.
The result kept Bengaluru atop the standings at three wins from three, leaving Gujarat at two wins and two losses.
The spell lifted her to eight wickets this season, tying her with Nandani Sharma and Sophie Devine in the purple-cap race, and it marked a comeback she credited to preparation and family support.
