WPL 2023 Auction: Where does WPL stand in front of IPL auction, where does wpl stand front of ipl auction these players became millionaire in first season

Mumbai: Indian women’s cricket team’s vice-captain Smriti Mandhana’s excitement after joining Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction for Rs 34 million shows the excitement of the big day among the players. A new chapter in women’s cricket begins with the WPL where they attract multi-crore bids, similar to their male counterparts in the Indian Premier League. There has been talk of starting a women’s T20 league in India for a long time but everything will change on March 4 this year when the first match of the five-franchise tournament will be played.

There is every possibility that it will be organized before the ‘big tournament’ IPL. WPL and IPL cannot be compared when it comes to money and status. The WPL, however, will bring glamor to women’s cricket, which was far away from it. Also Indian players will get a chance to play with foreign players.

Mandhana was bought for Rs 3.40 crore in the auction while Deepti Sharma was bought by UP Warriors for Rs 2.60 crore. The Delhi team also spent over Rs 2 crore on Jemimah Rodrigues and young Indian opener Shafali Verma. While in WPL, where the total salary cap for players is 12 crores, last year’s IPL big auction, each franchise had a budget of Rs 90 to 95 crores.

Biggest bid on Mandhana

Talking about the first auction of WPL and the first auction of IPL, compared to the amount that Mandhana got on Monday, then Chennai Super Kings paid almost three times the amount to buy Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Rs 95 million). did. In the 2010 IPL auction, Kolkata Knight Riders spent Rs 48 million for Shane Bond and Mumbai Indians for Kieron Pollard.

From the year 2011, the salary range of franchisees started increasing. KKR then bought Gautam Gambhir for Rs 14 crore 90 lakh. As time progressed, broadcast, media and online revenue increased, which also benefited the players. Ravindra Jadeja was sold in 2012 for Rs 12 crore 80 lakh. RCB spent Rs 14 crores for Yuvraj Singh while Delhi Daredevils (Delhi Capitals) then bid for him for then IPL record 16 crores.

England all-rounder Sam Curran fetched an all-time record Rs 185 million in the 2023 auction amid rising salary caps. Consider the huge amount that male cricketers get, the amount of more than three crores that Mandhana gets seems to be minor.
