WPL 2025 Auction HIGHLIGHTS: Simran and Deandra most expensive with Rs 1.90 and 1.70 CR bids

The auction was dominated by uncapped players, with 15 of 19 open slots secured by them, while only four capped players were bought by teams on Sunday

The highly anticipated Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 auction took place in Bengaluru on December 15, 2024, with the fate of 120 players, including 91 Indians and 29 overseas players, hanging in the balance for the 19 open slots in the auction.

 

The team with the biggest purse, Gujarat Giants, secured the first buy of the auction when they signed West Indian all-rounder Deandra Dottin for Rs 1.70 crore. They broke their own record later in the day by signing uncapped Indian player Simran Shaikh for Rs 1.90 crore.

 

The inaugural champions, Mumbai Indians, also made significant moves. They began by signing South African all-rounder Nadine de Klerk for Rs 30 lakh, before going big with the Rs 1.60 crore signing of Indian uncapped batter G Kamalini.

 

Delhi Capitals made two budget-friendly buys, acquiring uncapped players Nandini Kashyap for Rs 10 lakh and N. Charani for Rs 55 lakh.

 

The defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), made headlines with their only signing of the day so far, securing Prema Rawat for Rs 1.20 crore.

 

In the second round, UP Warriorz added two players to their squad, signing Arushi Goel and Kranti Goud, both for Rs 10 lakh each. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians, RCB, and Delhi Capitals each secured one player in the same round. Sanskriti Gupta joined MI, Joshitha VJ joined RCB, and Sarah Bryce was signed by DC, all for Rs 10 lakh each.

 

The auction concluded with a third and final round, which saw UP Warriorz signing Alana King for Rs 30 lakh as their final addition. Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals wrapped up their squads by signing Akshita Maheshwari and Niki Prasad for Rs 10 lakh each, respectively.

 

The defending champions, RCB, further bolstered their squad in the final round by adding Raghvi Bisht and Jasgravi Pawar, both for Rs 10 lakh each.

 

The night finally came to a close when Gujarat Giants, in back-to-back signings, secured Danielle Gibson for Rs 30 lakh and Parakshita Naik for Rs 10 lakh.
