Legendary Australian captain Alyssa Healy once said she wanted to join Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the current WPL season. She expressed this clearly in an interview, stating she wished to play for RCB and alongside skipper Smriti Mandhana.
Healy goes unsold despite her interest in RCB
During the WPL auction, no franchise picked Healy in any of the four rounds. Fans are upset with teams for ignoring a player of her stature, especially after she openly spoke of her wish to join RCB.
Social media reacts with humour and frustration
Many users are joking that Mitchell Starc might take revenge by demolishing India’s batting unit in the next bilateral series. The jokes are widespread, though they reflect the shock of watching Healy go unsold.
Healy’s career reflects world-class talent
Healy remains one of the finest in women’s cricket. She played a vital role as Australia won 2 ODI World Cups and 6 T20I World Cups. With 162 WT20Is to her name, she has scored 3054 runs at a strike rate of 129.79.
Fans hope for a late tournament entry
Supporters believe she may still feature through a wild-card entry if an injury opens a spot, similar to Dewald Brevis replacing a player for CSK in the previous IPL season.
