NEW DELHI: Ellyse Perry is priceless for the team she represents, utterly valuable for the captain she plays under. The skills the Australian executes on the field are exquisite and rare in women’s cricket. She is one of the few in the history of women’s cricket to play the game as a proper pace-bowling allrounder. By that it’s to be understood that she can walk into any team purely as a batter or purely as a pace bowler. She is the Ben Stokes of women’s cricket.
On Tuesday, in front of a near full-house Kotla, Perry created history during the game between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians by registering the best-ever bowling figures (6/15) in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), which led RCB to an easy seven-wicket win.
