WPL 2024: 5 Players who turned out to be surprise packages

The Women's Premier League (WPL) has surely proved to be the platform for the women’s game to grow and has done increasingly well over the past two years. It has given a stage for the players to prove themselves against some of the top players of the league. Unknown players at the start of the season tend to become superstars by the end of the whole tournament. 

As yet another season ended last night as Royal Challengers Bangalore overcame Delhi Capitals, some of the players played exceedingly well and turned out to be an out-of-the-box option for the teams as well. Let’s take a look at some of the top players who proved to be a surprise during this season of the WPL 2024. 

Here are the 5 Players who turned out to be surprise packages in WPL 2024:

1. Asha Sobhana

The 33-year-old was one of the biggest surprise packages of this season for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. She had a mediocre season during the maiden edition of the Women’s Premier League as she could only take home five wickets after five games and was leaking a lot of runs.

Coming into the second season, a lot of eyes were not on Asha but she made sure she got everyone’s attention as she turned out to be the deceptive bowler she is known to be. She ended up claiming 10 wickets and her economy was also around 7. The leg-spinner was crucial to the side in low-scoring encounters and her accurate line and lengths helped the side in sealing games.
