WPL 2023: Best XI of costliest players from auction
These players attracted the franchises and became the top picks at the auction.
3. Jemimah Rodrigues
Jemimah Rodrigues looked in decent form in T20Is in 2022. The fearless top-order batter piled up 463 runs with three fifties in 20 matches at a strike rate of 121.84. In the 2022 Women’s T20 Asia Cup as well, Rodrigues ended up becoming the top-scorer smashing 217 runs with two half-centuries in eight matches at a strike rate of 135.62.
With her contribution, India also won the continental trophy for the record seventh time. She recently went under the hammer at the 2023 WPL Player Auction with her base price of INR 50 lakh. However, noting her capability and recent powerful performances, Delhi Capitals (DC) signed her for INR 2.2 crore after vanquishing Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz in a bidding war.
In the DC squad, Rodrigues will be seen bolstering the team with her batting in the middle order. With her, renowned names such as Shafali Verma, Mag Lanning, and Laura Harris will also add strength to the batting line-up.
