WATCH: Renuka, Harmanpreet look delighted upon getting picked in WPL Auction
The Indian women's players are having a gala time at the WPL Auction 2023 with some top names including Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Deepti Sharma among others going for hefty bids. Following Mandhana’s record-breaking bid of INR 3.4 crores, all eyes were locked on Harmanpreet during the auction, who was purchased by Mumbai Indians for INR 1.8 crores. While other batters including Shafali also went for INR 2 crores, seamer Renuka Singh was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a whopping INR 1.5 crores – the highest bid for an Indian women’s pacer. Fresh from the side’s win against Pakistan in the Women’s T20 WC in South Africa, both Harmanpreet and Renuka shared their joy upon getting picked in this historic WPL Auction 2023.
In the recent short clips uploaded by Jio Cinema on Twitter, Harman and Renuka shared their thoughts. While Renuka said she is delighted to be joining the star-studded Royal Challengers Bangalore camp and playing alongside her national side teammate Mandhana, Harman added saying she can’t wait to join the Mumbai Indians team – a side she had always adored while watching IPL. The skipper also said the introduction of WPL will change the landscape of women’s cricket not only in India but also on the global stage.
