Taking advantage of the platform, a few young names proved their mettle, this year, as well. Following the second WPL season, it’s essential to talk about the Indian players who grabbed a lot of eyeballs for their magnificent performances.

In the knockout stage, RCB looked extremely confident under her as she succeeded in extracting impactful results from her players. As a batter, the southpaw scored 300 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 133.92 with two fifties and ended up as the fourth-leading run-getter in the tournament.
