Runuka Takuru We provided the perfect breakthrough Royal Challenger Bengaluru (RCB) in Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 The opposite opener Gujarat Giants (GT),clean up Laura Orbus With a spectacular delivery.
Renuka Thakur dismantles Laura Wolverardt with a sharp inswinger
Bowling from above the wicket, Renuka threw the ball just outside the stump, producing a sharp inward movement from the surface. Wolvaardt attempted a full heave without proper footwork and completely misjudged his swing. The ball zips past her bat, crashing into the middle and stump, leaving the batter without a chance to recover.
Delivery was an example of a textbook of late movements in speed, taking advantage of the lack of accurate foot placement of the batter. Having struggled to find flow, Wolwald managed six runs from 10 balls before Lunuka’s brilliance finished his stay in the crease. The impact was immediate as the Gujarat giant lost its first wicket at 35 and gave RCB an early opening.
Renuka’s execution was perfect. She kept the length and allowed the ball to deviate from the pitch, rather than adjusting Wolvaardt’s room. Wolvaardt’s lack of intention in shot selection only amplifies the effectiveness of the delivery, exposing the stumps completely.
This wicket set the tone for the RCB bowling unit as Renuka accurately led the attack. Her spells so far – over 21 runs on wickets – highlighted her ability to extract early movements and trouble batters. For Gujarat, losing Wolwald cheap was a setback, and their middle order forced a reconstruction after the early shock.
