WPL 2025: Is Smriti Mandhana insecure of Ellyse Perry?

Smriti Mandhana and Ellyse Perry are both key players for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025, with Indian cricketer Mandhana serving as the captain and Perry contributing with both bat and ball.

Mandhana is a talented opening batter known for her aggressive style. In the WPL 2025 opener, she led RCB to a record-breaking chase, though she didn't score heavily herself. She has also expressed relief at Perry's joining the team, acknowledging the setbacks RCB faced before the season. She has also been seen apologizing to Perry after a heartbreaking Super Over loss.

Meanwhile, Perry is a versatile all-rounder, capable of contributing with both bat and ball. In the WPL 2025 opener, she played a crucial knock, scoring 57 off 34 balls when the team was under pressure. She also scored 90 not out off 56 balls in another match. She has been instrumental in RCB's success, including helping them chase down a record score.

Following the development, several fans have predicted that Smriti Mandhana is insecure of Ellyse Perry.

The prediction has been substantiated when a video during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and UP Warriorz recently went viral over various social media platforms.

In the video,  Mandhana was found giving lecture to her team players during the break. However,  as soon as Perry started to share something, Mandhana was found leaving the circle.
