Great initiative. Lanning is a fantastic leader and her experience will be invaluable for the Warriorz. Also, good to know she likes dosa! Shows she's embracing the culture here. Wishing the team all the best for WPL.

While the event looks nice, I hope the franchise's focus remains squarely on building a winning team and developing *Indian* talent. We have brilliant players like Deepti Sharma in the squad. Lanning's leadership should ultimately empower our homegrown stars to shine brighter.

This is what sports is all about - inspiration beyond boundaries. A young girl in UP today might dream of playing for India because she met Meg Lanning. The WPL is changing the game, literally and figuratively. Jai Ho!
