Following the title win, Perry said that the win is "bonkers" for RCB and that the support for all the teams has been phenomenal.
"Pretty bonkers to be honest. It is another level for us - the support for all the teams has been phenomenal and it's been unbelievable. [on Richa Ghosh] She is unbelievable, for such a young player, she has got so many shots, we were cool and we felt we had to stay in the game and it took longer than it should have been. [on Sophie Molineux] She turned the match on its head. The rest of the spinners backed her up. Shreyanka (Patil) is such a young player and she has got the world at her feet, that was a special performance. That was awesome," said Perry after the win.
