It was a momentous occasion for Tamil Nadu cricketer S.B. Keerthana on Saturday as she bagged her first Women’s Premier League contract when Mumbai Indians shelled out Rs. 10 lakh for her at the player auction in Mumbai.
The 23-year-old leg-spinner has been in good form after taking 12 wickets for TN in the recently concluded senior women’s T20 tournament.
“It feels good to be part of a competition like the WPL. It is one of the biggest platforms for women’s cricket, and to be part of a team like Mumbai Indians is great,” said Keerthana in a chat with The Hindu.
