Women Premier League Auction 2026 LIVE: UP Warriorz used their RTM option to acquire Deepti Sharma for ₹3.2 Cr at the ongoing WPL 2026 Auction in New Delhi. The Warriorz matched Delhi Capitals' bid for the Indian all-rounder. Meanwhile, Gujarat Giants beat DC in a huge bidding war for Sophie Devine, signing her for ₹2 Cr. 277 players — including 194 Indians and 83 overseas stars — go under the hammer at the WPL 2025 mega auction. With five teams aiming to fill 73 available slots (50 Indian, 23 overseas), the marquee list features India’s World Cup hero Deepti Sharma, pacer Renuka Singh, New Zealand’s Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr, England’s Sophie Ecclestone, Australia’s Alyssa Healy and Meg Lanning, and South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt.

Deepti is expected to break the bank and take the biggest paycheque after she recently became the Player of the Tournament in the ODI World Cup 2025. It was a shocker for many when UP Warriorz didn't name her in their retention list.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have never hesitated to make bold moves at the WPL auctions, and Smriti Mandhana’s INR 3.4-crore signing before the inaugural season remains the biggest example — still the highest price ever paid in the league. That investment eventually paid off as she led RCB to the 2024 title. With teams now aggressively chasing reliable Indian all-rounders, the spotlight shifts to Deepti Sharma. Given her recent form and the premium placed on multi-skill players, she could be the one to finally challenge — and potentially break — Mandhana’s long-standing record.
