'It bolsters the team in all departments' - Malolan Rangarajan on Ellyse Perry's return to RCB for WPL 2027

Ahead of the upcoming Women's Premier League player auction, Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Malolan Rangarajan has expressed enthusiasm regarding the reinstatement of Ellyse Perry. The seasoned all-rounder missed the franchise's previous title run due to personal matters but will rejoin the squad for the 2027 campaign, strengthening their lineup at the crucial number three batting position.

Following a retention period that locked in a core group of thirteen players—consisting of nine domestic cricketers and four overseas talents including Georgia Voll, Nadine de Klerk, and Lauren Bell—the defending champions are preparing for the auction scheduled for late October. Rangarajan noted that the return of Perry directly influences their strategy for filling the remaining roster spots as the team targets further performance growth.
