WPL 2023: Best India starting XI after auction
These players dominated the auction due to their recent powerful performances for the national team.
11. Rajeshwari Gayakwad
Rajeshwari Gayakwad is a senior player in the Indian team. Back in January 2014, she made her international debut, and now the 31-year-old is one of the key bowlers in the national side. Till now, Gayakwad has picked up 58 wickets in 54 T20I contests at an economy of 6.23.
Currently, the veteran is a part of the Indian team at the ongoing 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup. After the conclusion of the marquee event, she will play for UP Warriorz (UPW) in the mega WPL. The franchise signed Gayakwad for her basic price of INR 40 lakh at the WPL auction held in Mumbai on February 13, 2023.
Gayakwad’s experience will be important for her franchise in the forthcoming event as she will reinforce the spin attack. However, with the support of her teammate Deepti Sharma, things will become a bit easy for her. Along with Sharma, Gayakwad has delivered a lot of match-winning moments for India and in the WPL, they will strive to do the same for UPW.
