Today, just like the popular Twenty20 cricket league IPL played by men, the Women's Premier League is also being hosted with appreciation from all corners. The second season of WPL kickstarted on February 23, 2024. To cheer for the female cricketers, celebs like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Masaba Gupta, Mary Kom, Vineeta Singh, and Faye D’Souza went to the stadium.
