WPL 2025: RCB's Renuka Singh Shares Story Of Early Struggles To Cricket Glory
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: In her third season for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), Renuka Singh Thakur has truly come into her own, claiming 10 wickets in just seven matches so far. From humble beginnings in her village, playing with a cloth ball, to becoming India’s go-to fast bowler, her journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Cricket wasn’t just a sport for Renuka; it was the unfulfilled dream of her late father, one she took upon herself to achieve despite all odds.
“I hadn't seen much cricket as a kid, it was just a hobby, I don't know how it came. I just liked playing. And there was a rule in my village that we used to play with a cloth ball, so you have to throw it fast, otherwise it doesn't go far. So that's how I became a fast bowler. I didn't talk much about my dad with my mom, then one day she told me that it was his hobby. He wanted at least one of his children to play. So, I started taking it seriously and I think cricket probably came about for this reason, as it was my dad's dream,” she explained.
