England Star, Whose "Virat Kohli Marry Me" Post Went Viral, Joins RCB

England star Danielle Wyatt-Hodge had crated quite a flutter on social media back in 2014 when she proposed to Virat Kohli on social media platform X. In April, 2014, Wyatt had written on X: "Kholi marry me!!!" Wyatt will now be turning out for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in next year's Women's Premier League, having being traded from UP Warriorz, the tournament organisers said on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old Wyatt also bowls off-break occasionally. "England attacking batter Danni Wyatt is set to represent Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the upcoming TATA Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 season following a successful trade from UP Warriorz (UPW)," the WPL said in a statement.

"Originally acquired by UPW in the auction for INR 30 lakhs, Wyatt will move to RCB at her existing fee," the organisers added.

Wyatt brings a wealth of experience to RCB, having played 164 T20 Internationals for England, the highest number for any English player in the shortest format.
