Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have had some of the finest players in world cricket over the years, and now their women's team has also roped in an absolute star in the form of Ellyse Perry.

However, India head coach Rahul Dravid jumped to Bharat's defence when asked about his form, all but ruling out a change in wicket-keeper for the 4th Test against Australia.
