At the same time, Shefali Verma, who is struggling with poor form, would like to make a comeback in the national team by performing well for Delhi Capitals. The Indian team will tour England in July and the ODI World Cup is also to be held in India.
The road will not be easy for RCB
It will not be easy for defending champions RCB to retain the title as players like Sophie Devine, Molinou and Kate Cross are not playing this time. Star all-rounders Alyssa Perry, Shreyanka Patil and Asha Shobhana are recovering from injuries. Their ability to recover from these setbacks will prove whether they will be able to win the title or not. Captain Smriti Mandhana said that many players who were part of the last time's playing eleven are out due to injury this time. Sophie Devine is one of the best all-rounders in the world, so she will be missed.
Delhi came down to remove the pain of two times
Two-time runner-up Delhi Capitals has been a consistent performer in the tournament and will be looking to get over the disappointment of losing the final. They have players like Shefali Verma, Meg Lanning, Jemima Rodrigues, Annabel Sutherland and Marizanne Kapp while the bowling has veterans like Shikha Pandey, Arundhati Reddy, Titas Sadhu and Jess Jonassen.
Gujarat and UP rely on new captains
This time the teams of Gujarat Giants and UP Warriors will play with new captains. Gujarat has appointed Ashley Gardner and UP has appointed Deepti Sharma as captain. After the exit of Alyssa Healy, UP has handed over the captaincy to the most successful Indian all-rounder. Now it remains to be seen whether the new captains are able to change the fortunes of these teams or not. Dailymintz
