WPL Auction: How star Indian players performed at inaugural women’s auction

However,
in
a
surprise
auction,
Indian
captain
Harmanpreet
Kaur
was
not
placed
among
the
top
10
most
expensive
buys
as
she
was
sold
for
Rs
1.80
crore
to
Mumbai
Indians.

Harmanpreet
Kaur
was
named
the
Mumbai
Indians
captain
right
after
as
well
by
the
franchise
but
the
33-year-old
batter
wasn’t
the
most
expensive
Indian
player
in
the
squad
as
well
with
all-rounder
Pooja
Vastrakar
coming
to
Mumbai
Indians
for
Rs
1.90
crore.

England’s
Nat
Sciver-Brunt
was
MI’s
most
expensive
player
at
Rs
3.20
crore.
Mumbai
also
roped
in
another
Indian
international
in
wicketkeeper-batter
Yashtika
Bhatia
for
Rs
1.50
crore.

with
teammates
as

crore
–
Watch

There
was
some
surprise
in
the
store
too
as
experienced
spinner
Poonam
Yadav
went
unsold
at
the
auction.

No
other
Indian
player
touched
the
Rs
3
crore
mark
like
Smriti
Mandhana
as
Deepti
Sharma
was
the
second
most
expensive
Indian
at
Rs
2.60
crore.
The
Indian
all-rounder
was
bought
by
UP
Warriorz.

Indian
top-order
batter
Jemimah
Rodrigues,
who
scored
the
winning
run
against
Pakistan
in
T20
World
Cup
the
other
night,
was
sold
for
Rs
2.20
crore
to
Delhi
Capitals,
who
also
roped
in
explosive
opener
Shafali
Verma
for
Rs
2
crore.

Finisher
Richa
Ghosh,
who
displayed
her
batting
firepower
against
Pakistan
last
night
and
against
Australia
as
well
a
few
months
ago,
made
big
bucks
too
as
she
was
sold
for
Rs
1.90
crore
to
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore.
The
Bengaluru
franchise
also
roped
in
Indian
seamer
Renuka
Singh
for
Rs
1.50
crore.

Gujarat
Giants
didn’t
spend
big
on
Indian
players
as
they
bought
Harleen
Deol
for
Rs
40
lakh
and
later
bought
out-of-favour
Sneh
Rana
for
Rs
75
lakh.
The
franchise
spent
bigger
on
foreign
players.
