WPL 2023: Flop Indian XI from first week of tournament
Despite being the most expensive player in the WPL, Smriti Mandhana has failed to live up to her reputation or price tag and thus, features in the list of Flop Indian XI, after the first week.
3. Sabbhineni Meghana
26-year-old Sabbhineni Meghana was bought for INR 30 lakhs at the auction and was given the responsibility to go up the order and give her team a good start. However, she hasn’t been able to prove herself so far in the competition as her team, Gujarat Giants have managed to win only one out of their three matches so far.
Notably, Meghana has scored only 34 runs in three matches and has failed to give Gujarat a good start in any of the matches. After her opening partner and skipper Beth Mooney was ruled out of the competition, it was expected that the Andhra-born cricketer will take up more responsibility to give Gujarat a proper start, but that hasn’t been the case so far.
In order to qualify for the playoffs, Gujarat need Meghana to step up her game and give them good starts at the outset for the rest of the team to pick up from there. Otherwise, we might see her getting dropped and making way for a new opening pair.
