West Indies’ big-hitting all-rounder Deandra Dottin, Mumbai batter Simran Shaikh and exciting India U19 wicketkeeper-batter G Kamalini have fetched big paychecks in the WPL 2025 player auction on Sunday. For acquiring Deandra, one of only three players with a reserve price of Rs 50 lakh, Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz were in a fierce tussle before the Adani Sportsline-owned franchise roped her in for Rs 1.7 crore. But the bigger story of the auctions so far has been the deals for uncapped players like Simran, who was roped in by Gujarat Giants for Rs 1.9 crore after edging out Delhi Capitals.
Simran, who was with UP Warriorz for WPL 2023, was a member of Mumbai winning Senior Women’s T20 Trophy and of India E team winning Challenger Trophy.
For acquiring hard-hitting Kamalini, who hit 44 not out in India’s nine-wicket win over Pakistan in the U19 Asia Cup game, Mumbai Indians shelled out Rs 1.6 crore after a fierce bidding war with DC. MI did have a look at Kamalini during their pre-auction trials.
