Speaking of the Royal Challengers Bangaluru, captained by Smriti Mandhana, they remained a mediocre team in the 2023 WPL season, finishing second to last just above the Gujarat Giants due to a slightly better net run rate.

They know how to win a match and in pursuit of improvements this year, the Challengers have made changes in the squads.
