Smriti Mandhana's Mother Trolls Palash Muchhal After RCB's WPL 2026 Win, Mocks Him As DC Players

Smriti Mandhana led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to their second consecutive Women's Premier League (WPL) title earlier this week, delivering a match-winning performance against Delhi Capitals.

The victory drew widespread praise, especially as it came months after personal upheaval in her life, including her called-off wedding with singer Palash Muchhal. Soon after the win, social media buzzed with memes, and in an unexpected twist, Smriti's mother joined the online chatter.

Meme That Sparked Social Media Frenzy

A day after the WPL final, a social media meme page shared a post joking that the way Smriti hammered the Delhi Capitals bowlers, it looked as if she was imagining her ex, Palash, in front of her. The meme quickly gained traction online, but what truly caught attention was Smita Mandhana reposting it on her Instagram account, effectively signalling her approval and leaving fans amused.

The repost triggered a wave of reactions, with many users calling her a "savage aunty" and applauding her sense of humour.

Match-Winning Knock Despite Illness

RCB Women defeated DC Women by six wickets in the 2026 WPL final on Thursday, with Smriti Mandhana producing a stellar innings of 87 off 41 balls. Her performance earned her the Player of the Match award and played a decisive role in securing the franchise's second straight title.

It was later revealed that the batter had been battling a 103-degree fever the night before the game, making her knock even more remarkable and drawing admiration from fans and cricket followers alike.

Called-Off Wedding and Aftermath

Smriti and Palash Muchhal, a well-known singer and composer in the Hindi music industry, were scheduled to marry last year in her hometown, Sangli. Pre-wedding celebrations had already begun, but the ceremony was called off just hours before it was set to take place.

Reports suggested that Palash had been found cheating by Smriti's teammates, although neither Smriti nor Palash publicly addressed the reason for their split. Recently, Palash announced his transition into direction with a new project featuring Shreyas Talpade, marking a fresh chapter in his professional journey.
