Players across the globe fetched big money in the inaugural Women’s Premier League Auction in Mumbai on Monday. All five franchises brainstormed on picking the right set of players in their squad for the inaugural season which will start next month.
The auction ceremony started with the best possible note as star India batter Smriti Mandhana was the first player to go under the hammer as she turned out to be the most expensive player in the inaugural auction as Royal Challengers Bangalore signed her for INR 3.4 crore after a bidding war against Mumbai Indians.
Mumbai were then in a tussle alongside RCB, Delhi Capitals (DC) and UP Warriorz to get the services of captain Harmanpreet Kaur, which ended in them roping her in for INR 1.8 crore
While Australia’s Ashleigh Gardner and England’s Natalie Sciver were the join-most expensive overseas players at the auction. Gujarat Giants signed Gardner for INR 3.2 crore, while Sciver joined Mumbai Indians for the same amount.
