WPL 2025 Auction: Full list of sold players and updated squads of all five teams

The uncapped Indian all-rounder, Simran Shaikh, made headlines as the most expensive purchase during the recent mini-auction for the 2025 Women’s Premier League (WPL) in Bengaluru. Surpassing the likes of West Indies legend Deandra Dottin, Shaikh attracted a bid that solidified her as a top contender in the league. Notable players such as England captain Heather Knight, and capped Indians Sneh Rana and Poonam Yadav, surprisingly went unsold during the auction.

Gujarat Giants, with the largest purse of Rs 4.4 crore, made strategic moves by acquiring both Shaikh and Dottin for Rs 1.90 and Rs 1.70 crore, respectively. The third-most expensive player in the auction was Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batter G Kamilini, who was acquired by inaugural champions Mumbai Indians for Rs 1.60 crore. 

The only other player to fetch more than a crore on Sunday was the uncapped Indian all-rounder from Uttarakhand, Prema Rawat. She was acquired by the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), after a bidding war with Delhi Capitals.
