WPL 2023: Five players who might earn more than INR 5 crore at auction
WPL 2023 auction will take place on February 13 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
4. Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana has been a lynchpin of the Indian batting line-up across formats. She has featured in 77 ODIs and aggregated 3073 runs at an average of 43.28. Coming to the shortest format, she has scored 2651 runs in 112 games at a strike rate of 123.13.
Mandhana has taken the attack on the opposition right from the get-go and provided her side with brisk starts. On her day, the 26-year-old has demolished even the best of bowling attacks with her marauding bat and stamped her authority on the cricket field.
Moreover, Mandhana is an experienced customer when it comes to leading a side. She has captained the national team when India’s incumbent skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has been unavailable. Also, she has been the leader of the troops of the Trailblazers in the Women’s T20 challenge since its inaugural season in 2018. Thus, Mandhana, being a gun batter and a good captaincy candidate, many WPL franchises would be interested in signing her at the forthcoming player auction.
