The Women’s Premier League auction happened in Mumbai on February 13, Monday. Smriti Mandhana made the headlines after she was purchased by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a whopping price tag of INR 3.4 crore at the Women’s Premier League auction 2023.
The inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League will kick off later this year and it is going to be the first time that the women cricketers will be spicing it up in the upcoming edition of the Women’s Indian Premier League.
Smriti Mandhana has already been a star cricketer for Indian women’s cricket team. She will be looking forward to giving it all for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the inaugural season of the Women’s Premier League 2023.
Meanwhile, netizens have been drawing comparisons with Smriti Mandhana’s WPL salary with Pakistan skipper Babar Azam’s PSL salary. For the record, Babar Azam was traded to Peshawar Zalmi from Karachi Kings in 2022.
Currently, Babar Azam represents Peshawar Zalmi in the eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League. It will be quite interesting to see how he and his team will perform in the ongoing season. In fact, Babar Azam’s PSL salary is INR 1.38 crore (PSL), yet the fans in Pakistan compare PSL with Indian Premier League’s standards.
