India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has been appointed as the vice-captain of the side, the franchise said on Thursday, March 2. Lanning led Australia to three T20 World Cup victories as captain, and she also won the 2022 ODI World Cup in New Zealand.

Lanning has represented Australia in six Tests, 103 One-Day Internationals, and 132 Twenty20 Internationals, scoring 345, 4602, and 3405 runs in each event.

Harmanpreet Singh will captain the Mumbai Indians, while Alyssa Healy will lead the UP Warriorz. Smriti Mandhana will captain Royal Challengers Bangalore, while Beth Mooney will captain Gujarat Giants.
It will be intriguing to watch how Lanning performs in his new role as DC captain. She has been the finest leader in the women’s game.
