Deepti Sharma performance in WPL 2023

Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma was selected by UP Warriorz for a whopping amount of Rs 2.6 crore in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) Auction held in Mumbai. Her base price was INR 50 lakh, but there was a tough competition between Delhi, Gujarat Giants, and Mumbai for her signature. However, UP Warriorz made a surprise first bid at INR 2.2 crore and eventually won the bid for Deepti Sharma.

Deepti Sharma, who is just 25 years old, has been very successful as a T20I all-rounder in recent years. In fact, she is the only player to have scored more than 400 runs and taken more than 40 wickets in T20Is since 2021. Moreover, Deepti is also the second-highest T20I wicket-taker for India and needs just three more wickets to become the first Indian player to take 100 wickets in the shortest format of the game.
