Much like the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Women’s Premier League (WPL) promises to be an exciting affair with a total of 87 players who will look forward to going in with a renewed spirit when they take on their global counterparts to stake their claim on the elusive WPL 2023 trophy. Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants are set to clash in a blockbuster opening match of the WPL on March 4 at the prestigious DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The cash-rich league has generated an irresistible buzz among cricket fans, with the five franchises being sold for a grand total of INR 4.7 crore. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) broke the bank for Indian vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, who became the most expensive player in the history of WPL during the 2023 auction earlier last month. The franchise shelled out a mammoth INR 3.4 crore for Mandhana, who had a base reserve price of INR 50 lakh. With an added element of leadership in her role, one could witness the best out of the southpaw in this edition.
