MUMBAI: Women's cricket has touched a new glass ceiling in India. It is the latest goldmine that the Indian cricket Board has discovered. On Wednesday, five companies, with the Adani Group leading the race, which made the highest bid-Rs 1289 crore-for the Ahmedabad franchise, splurged as much as Rs 4669.99 crore to buy the five teams for the women’s IPL, which has been named as the Women's Premier League (WPL) by the BCCI. The astounding figure, achieved through a ‘sealed bid’ process, exceeded all expectations, with even the BCCI's top officials left surprised.
