With cricket’s rules and regulations inclined towards batters, watching bowlers performing extraordinarily is a treat to eyes for the sport’s buffs nowadays.

Back in 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won the coveted trophy and became the second WPL title-winning side. In their success, Ellyse Perry played the key role with her all-round skills. In the do-or-die game against Mumbai Indians (MI) in Delhi, she bagged 6/15 figures in her four-over spell and registered the best bowling figures in the league. The Australian’s bowling helped RCB emerge victorious.
