WPL 2023: Best India starting XI after auction
These players dominated the auction due to their recent powerful performances for the national team.
9. Pooja Vastrakar
Pooja Vastrakar has established herself as a credible player in T20 cricket due to her fine bowling performance for India. In the last few years, the team has shown faith in her and in return, the 23-year-old has done pretty well. Till now, she has scalped 30 wickets for India in 46 games, at an economy of 6.14.
At the WPL Player Auction, Vastrakar received INR 1.9 crore from Mumbai Indians (MI) to play for them in the maiden WPL season. Noting her experience, MI might assign her the task to spearhead their bowling attack. Along with Issy Wong, Natalie Sciver-Brunt, and Amelia Kerr, she will be a crucial name to support MI’s bowling unit.
In 2022, the India bowler grabbed attention for her magnificent performance in the Women’s T20 Challenge. Grabbing six wickets for Supernovas in three contests at an economy of 7.10, she ended up becoming the leading wicket-taker in the competition. This year, eyes will be set on Vastrakar again as she has the capability to wreak havoc on the field with her medium-pace bowling.
