South African pacer Shabnim Ismail has also piqued the interest of teams, with Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians vying for his services. The player was eventually sold to the reigning champions Mumbai Indians for 1.2 crore.
Kashvee Gautam’s retaliation
Kashvee Gautam, a right-arm seamer, went unsold in the WPL auctions last year. The young athlete did not allow the setback affect her game, instead working on her pace and seeking continuous input from team scouts. Although her domestic performance suggests consistency, she showcased her abilities in this year’s Women’s T20 tournament by taking 12 wickets in seven matches while maintaining a strong economy rate of 4.14.
