New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Smriti Mandhana on Thursday said the Indian women’s cricket team is aiming to be the best across formats and the WPL is going to have a major role in this mission after being a key contributor to their maiden ODI World Cup triumph.

Mandhana’s RCB will take on defending champions Mumbai Indians led by India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) opener here at the DY Patil Stadium on Friday. This is the same venue where the national team created history by winning its first global title last November.

“Winning the T20 World Cup would be great,” Mandhana said in a pre-match press joint press conference with Harmanpreet when asked what kind of change in Indian cricket they would want to see hereon.

“We all know that we won the (ODI) World Cup, yes, but there are a lot of things in the team that we need to work on. We really want to say that we are the best team in the world. We still have a lot of things to improve on and I am sure WPL is going to bridge that........
