WPL Auction 2025 was held in Bengaluru on Sunday, December 15. The event saw several players sold as the franchise cemented its squad for qualification to the next Women’s Premier League (WPL), which is expected to take place in February next year.
As many as 19 positions were scheduled to be filled in the 2025 WPL auction. Of them, 14 were Indian and 5 were overseas. Ahead of the event, all franchises had a total purse of INR 16.7 crore, so the event ended quickly, unlike the IPL 2025 auction which ended in two days.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru had INR 3.25 and had 4 slots to fill. Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have INR 2.65 and 2.5 respectively, with both teams having four slots to be filled.
Simran Shakih was the most expensive player in the 2025 WPL auction.
Playing for India, Simran Shakih is the most expensive player in the 2025 WPL auction, being acquired by Gujarat Giants for a whopping sum of INR 1.9 billion. The second most expensive player in this edition of the auction was sold to Gujarat Giants as they brought in Deandra Dottin for INR 1.70 crore.
G Kamalini also sealed a huge deal by receiving INR 1.60 crore from Mumbai Indians. Indian player Prema Rawat was one of the costliest players in the WPL Auction 2025 as she was picked by Royal Challengers Bengaluru for INR 1.2 billion.
Delhi Capitals Women brought in three players in Nandini Kashyap, N Charani and Sarah Bryce, while Deandra Dottin and Simran Shaikh were acquired by Gujarat Giants.
