India all-rounder Deepti Sharma was signed by UP Warriorz for Rs 2.6 crore in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) Auction in Mumbai on Monday.
Deepti, who had a base price of INR 50 lakh, was involved in a tight bidding between Delhi, Gujarat Giants and Mumbai. UP Warriorz made a surprise first bidding at INR 2.2 crore and eventually signed the all-rounder.
The 25-year-old has been the most successful T20I all-rounder in recent years. Deepti is the only player to amass over 400 runs and 40 wickets in T20Is since 2021.
Deepti is the second-highest T20I wicket-taker for India and is three shy of becoming the first India to record 100 scalps in the shortest format.
