The second Women’s Premier League final on Sunday will end a long wait, either way. For starters, neither a Delhi franchise nor Royal Challengers Bangalore have won a title in the Indian Premier League. That will change at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, but it also remains a point of trivia as the teams involved in the title clash have very little to do with that hory. It is the here and now that both Smriti Mandhana and Meg Lanning chose to focus on.
After qualifying for the playoffs, Mandhana came up with a statement that reminded one of David Fincher’s Fight Club. The only goal was to not talk about the goal, she’d say. Before the final, she elaborated: “It was very important for us to not connect anything with the men’s side because it brings a lot of pressure with it. The idea was to focus on what was happening now and not on the 15 years gone with the men’s side. So we’re not really correlating anything that’s happened with the men.” (Read more from Vinayakk Mohanarangan)
