Never on the Backfoot: A Podcast
295. WPL 2025- Reflection Points & Other Discourses

As the dust settles on another thrilling season of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025, Janani of Sportsy Mathsy Tales fame joins us to take a deep dive into the biggest talking points from the tournament.
From the high-stakes Eliminator and Final to Mumbai Indians’ consistent dominance and Delhi Capitals’ campaign, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and what teams need to rethink ahead of the next auction.
We also analyze top performers, including the Orange and Purple Cap winners, and revisit our favourite individual performances of the season.
How did India’s top stars fare? Which young talents put their names forward for international selection?
Beyond just WPL 2025, we tackle larger discourses—how does the league compare to WBBL, WCPL & The Hundred? Is the WPL ready for expansion?
Have the league’s overall standards evolved from Season 1 to now? Finally, we reveal our Team of the Tournament and outline what lies ahead for WPL teams and the league itself.
Tune in for a thoughtful and engaging discussion on the state of WPL and its future!
