BENGALURU: After an underwhelming inaugural Women’s Premier League season with UP Warriorz, Simran Shaikh watched the previous edition of the competition as a spectator. Going unsold in last season’s auction, the 22-year-old all-rounder went back to the drawing board and delivered for Mumbai in the domestic season. She reaped the rewards to become the most expensive buy at the mini auction held here on Sunday.
With a base price of Rs 10 lakh, Simran spurred a bidding war between Gujarat Giants and Delhi Capitals, before the former put out the winning bid of Rs 1.9 crore.
