WPL 2023: Best XI of costliest players from auction
These players attracted the franchises and became the top picks at the auction.
8. Deepti Sharma
Deepti Sharma has shown her class in the last few matches for India. Donning the blue jersey, Sharma has won some important games recently. In 2022, she guided India to the seventh Asia Cup title with her sensational all-round performances. With the ball, she claimed 13 wickets in eight matches at an economy of 3.33 and became the leading wicket-taker in the tournament.
As a batter too, she exuded confidence scoring 94 runs with a strike rate of 132.39. At the Player Auction of WPL, she became the third-most expensive player as she got sold to UP Warriorz for INR 2.6 crore. The franchise succeeded in getting her after engaging in a bidding battle with Delhi Capitals (DC), Mumbai Indians (MI), and Gujarat Giants (GG).
As an ideal all-rounder, her responsibility will be not only to show her best with the ball but play as a match-finisher as well. For the national team, Sharma has played many explosive knocks with her batting potential. In the mega T20 tournament next month, she will be expected to become a key player in the squad.
