Delhi Capitals cruised past Mumbai Indians on Monday in Match 18 of the Women’s Premier League in Navi Mumbai. The big-margin victory for Meg Lanning and her girls has helped them to climb up to the top of the points table, as MI bowlers found Shafali Verma and Alice Capsey too difficult to handle.

Extravagant and innovative celebrations are nothing new in sports, but few become iconic due to their charisma and popularity. Ear-cupping is one such celebration when players, after pulling off something spectacular, tease home fans, and Radha Yadav did that on Monday against Mumbai Indians.

It is always an astonishing sight to watch when batters hit big sixes and the occasion becomes more special if it is the longest hit of the tournament. During her extraordinary knock against Gujarat Giants, Sophie Devine achieved a similar feat by smashing a 94-meter maximum in a do-or-die game.

A few quality players often go unsold in the bidding process of the T20 leagues but it is the best response when they prove their worth with performances. Laura Wolvaardt did the same after replacing Beth Mooney in the WPL with two back to back fifties while playing for Gujarat Giants.
