Vrinda Dinesh, like most female cricketers or fans in India, didn’t miss a single game of the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League. As a player, she was thrilled to see the matches being played in front of huge crowds in the stadia of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai earlier this year.
Now, she could look forward to showcasing her own skills in front of those spectators. She created a sensation at the auction for the second edition of the WPL: she was picked up by UP Warriorz for ₹1.3 crore.
She was as surprised by the figure as anyone else. “When I heard my Karnataka teammate say during our training session (at Raipur), the number 1.3, I thought it must be 1.3 lakh,” Vrinda said. “Then I realised there can’t be such an amount at the WPL.”
