The Chennai Bulls have secured their place in the final of the inaugural women's edition of the Rugby Premier League 2026, which will be played on Tuesday at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad. Led by captain Chantelle Miell, the Bulls topped the table after five league matches, earning a spot in the championship match.
Captain and Players Shine
Chantelle Miell expressed her excitement: "Super excited for the finals. Last night's game was super close, but getting across the line in the final play is a great tribute to the girls and how hard they have worked in the last few weeks. Happy to be the first team that has secured its spot in the finals. The team is recouped, refreshed and all set to come back and hopefully win the finals tomorrow."
Amandeep Kaur added: "Extremely happy to have made the finals and the whole squad is now raring to play the finals. We are focused on the end goal which has always been to become the inaugural champions of the women's edition of the Rugby Premier League."
Key Performers
Captain Chantelle Miell, along with Adia Pyke, Carmen Izyk, and vice-captain Savannah Bauder, have proven their mettle as capped international players. Indian players Amandeep Kaur and Sandhyarani Tudu have been standout performers, winning several player of the match awards. Sandhya Rai, a senior member of the Indian team, was ruled out earlier in the season, but that did not stop the Chennai Bulls juggernaut in their quest for the inaugural trophy.
League Stage Results
Chennai Bulls had balanced results in the league stage, with two draws against Delhi Redz and Mumbai Dreamers, respectively. They suffered their lone defeat against Kolkata Banga Tigers before going on a three-match winning streak against Delhi Redz, Kolkata Banga Tigers, and Mumbai Dreamers. Beating all three other teams before the finals provides a massive morale boost moving into the last battle.
