From impressive innings by Harmanpreet Kaur and match-winning innings by Grace Harris to five-wicket hauls by Tara Norris and Kim Garth, cricket fans are in for some amazing performances in the ongoing WPL.

As WPL fever rises, Bollywood actress Saiyami Kher took to Twitter to describe the tournament as a “personal victory”. He uploaded a video of his batting in the nets and expressed his desire to play in the tournament next year.

“I played every sport possible in school, except the gentleman’s game. From gathering 11 girls to building a team, watching the WPL today feels like a personal victory. Maybe, I’ll be able to fulfill my childhood dream.” I can try and get selected next year.” I am not shooting. #WPL2023,” wrote Saiyami.
