The 2024 Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction made history as Kashvee Gautam became the most expensive uncapped player, securing a staggering INR 2 crore from the Gujarat Giants. She was not the only Australian star to fetch a hefty price – Phoebe Litchfield went under the hammer first and was picked up by the Giants for INR 1 crore. Annabel Sutherland, another Australian all-rounder, also shared the title of the most expensive player in the auction, fetching INR 2 crore and joining the Delhi Capitals.
