Voll and Satghare Join RCB Line-Up Amid Three Squad Changes

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) made significant changes to their squad ahead of their recent match against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026. After securing victories in their first three matches, RCB opted to chase, continuing their strategy of bowling first upon winning the toss.

Key Changes in RCB’s Line-Up

In a bid to enhance their performance, RCB implemented three changes to their team. Georgia Voll, making her debut for RCB, replaced Linsey Smith, adding strength to their batting lineup. Prema Rawat came in for D Hemalatha, who struggled with two low scores at number three. Additionally, Sayali Satghare replaced the ill Arundhati Reddy, bringing fresh energy to the squad.

Delhi Capitals Adjustments

On the opposite side, DC also faced an adjustment due to injury. Chinelle Henry, a key allrounder from West Indies, was unable to participate, leading to the inclusion of 19-year-old Lucy Hamilton. Hamilton previously captained Australia at the Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup, showcasing her potential.
