This India Star Cricketer Once Wanted To Go On Dinner With Ellyse Perry, She Replied: "Flattered. Hope He Is..."

Ellyse Perry, star Australian cricket team cricketer, has been in great form in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024. She has been crucial in Royal Challengers Bangalore reaching the final of the WPL. Ellyse Perry took 6/15 and scored 40* as RCB beat Mumbai Indians to reach the play-offs. Against the same opponents in the Eliminator, Perry took 1/29 and scored 66 to help his team win by five runs to set up a final clash with Delhi Capitals.

After her exploits, an old video of her from 2020 has been re-shared by several social media users.

"Murali Vijay, in an interview was asked, if after the lockdown there were two people he would want to go on dinner with would it be? He said Shikhar Dhawan, one of his teammates, and you. What would you respond to that?" the anchor asked Ellyse Perry in the video.

"I hope he is paying if that's the case. That's very kind of him. I am very flattered," said Ellyse Perry on hearing the statement.
