Deepti Sharma expectedly fetched the big bucks at the WPL auction here on Thursday (November 27, 2025) as UP Warriorz used the Right to Match card for the India all-rounder, securing her services for ₹3.20 crore.
Mumbai Indians bought last season’s join highest wicket taker New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr for ₹3 crore.
The seasoned duo of Australian Meg Lanning and Kiwi Sophie Devine were also among the top buys in the marquee set that featured eight players.
Gujarat Giants bought Devine for ₹2 crore while UP Warriorz bagged Lanning, who led Delhi Capitals to three consecutive finals, for ₹1.90 crore after a bidding war with DC.
Warriorz, who entered the auction with the highest prize purse ₹14.5 crore, was very active as they exercised their RTM card once again to buy back leading England spinner Sophie Ecclestone for ₹85 Lakh.
South African opener Laura Wolvaardt went to DC for ₹1.10 crore while the Giants purchased India pacer Renuka Singh for ₹60 lakh. Australia captain Alyssa Healy was the first name to go under the hammer and surprisingly found no takers.
