England cricketer Danielle Wyatt-Hodge created a storm on social media in 2014 when she had famously asked Virat Kohli to marry her on platform X. In April of that year, she had tweeted, “Kohli marry me!!!”. Danielle Wyatt is all set to don the jersey of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the next season of Women’s Premier League (WPL) as announced by tournament organizers on Wednesday. RCB commented, announcing the news
Kholi marry me!!!

“The 22-year-old Wyatt also bowls off-break occasionally. England attacking batter Danni Wyatt is likely to play for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 2025 season of the TATA Women’s Premier League (WPL), which has successfully traded the services of UP Warriorz, the WPL said on Wednesday in a statement,.”
“The 22-year-old Wyatt was originally sold by UPW in the auction for INR 30 lakhs and now will shift to RCB at her existing fee, the organizers added.”.
Wyatt brings in so much experience to RCB having played 164 Twenty-Twenty Internationals for England, and no other English player across all formats has played this many.
