It’s definitely been different. Different franchise and obviously RCB are pretty massive. It’s been a crazy few days since I landed, but yeah, I’m excited. It’s been pretty non-stop. Obviously they’re a pretty big franchise, so there’s been lots going on. And then obviously trying to meet everyone and learn names and learn everything. It’s been really fun and I’m just excited for the first game tonight. Surprise for me. I didn’t know what to expect. I think you don’t want to go into an auction with any expectations. I was obviously buzzing. It’s an amazing franchise that want me. We went to the cafe today and Georgia backed herself as a barista, so they very kindly let us use the machine and make our own coffees. We’ve got a pretty good setup.

The curtain lifts. The stars shine. The season begins. ✨🔥
