WPL 2023: Best India starting XI after auction
These players dominated the auction due to their recent powerful performances for the national team.
7. Richa Ghosh
Richa Ghosh is a vital cog in the Indian team due to her outstanding batting skills. In her three years of T20I career, she has played a lot of match-finishing innings for India. So far she has piled up 549 runs for the national team in 33 T20I matches at a decent strike rate of 135.89.
Banking on her international numbers, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had a bidding contest with Delhi Capitals (DC) to rope Ghosh into their squad for the forthcoming WPL. The wicket-keeper batter’s recent numbers helped her to win the confidence of the franchise and bag the contract.
In 2022, she was sensational with her bat racking up 259 runs in 18 matches at a strike rate of 150.58. After getting a humongous amount at the auction, the 19-year-old will now back herself to shine for RCB. In the tournament, playing with stars such as Smriti Mandhana, Ellyse Perry, and Sophie Devine will also boost her confidence.
