A total of 165 players - 104 India and 61 overseas, including 15 from Associate nations - will go under the hammer on Saturday in Mumbai as five franchises — Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Giants, Royal Challengers Bangalore, UP Warriorz and Delhi Capitals - will look to fill up a total of 30 spots, including nine for overseas in the Women's Premier League (WPL) mini-auction. 56 of these overall players are capped while 109 are uncapped.
All eyes will be on last edition's wooden-spooner Gujarat Giants, who have the biggest purse - INR 5.95 crore - heading into the auction with the task to pick 10 players after having let go of some quality overseas stars in Sutherland, Wareham, Garth and Sophia Dunkley. RCB, on the other hand, will be the second-busiest side at the auction as they need seven players, including three overseas, to complete their squad limit of 18 players. UP Warriorz, with INR 4 crore in their purse, and Mumbai Indians, with INR 2.1 crore, both have five slots remaining in their squad while last year's finalists Delhi Capitals have a maximum limit of adding three players, including one overseas.
