Kochi mein WPL 2027 Auction ka shubharambh ho chuka hai aur pehle hi round mein bade ulat-fer dekhne ko mile hain. Jahan ek taraf UP Warriorz ne apni tijori khol di hai, wahi Royal Challengers Bengaluru ki khamoshi ne fans ko hairan kar diya hai. Auction table par dimaag ki dahi aur paison ki barish dono ek saath ho rahi hai.
The Guru Story
Auction ka sabse bada attraction rahi Australia ki captain Sophie Molineux. Unhe kharidne ke liye UP Warriorz aur RCB ke beech kadi takkar dekhne ko mili. RCB ne 1.05 crore tak picha kiya lekin purse ki majboori ke karan unhe peeche hatna pada. Ant mein UP Warriorz ne Sophie Molineux ko 1.10 crore mein apne camp mein shamil kar liya. Yeh wahi player hain jinhone Australia ko satvi baar T20 World Cup jitaya aur is saal ki leading wicket-taker bhi hain.
India ki explosive middle-order batter Kiran Navgire ko lekar bhi market garam tha. Unhe Delhi Capitals ne 75 lakh mein kharida, jo unki power-hitting ability ko dekhte hue ek masterstroke lag raha hai. Wahi dusri taraf, Gujarat Giants ne smart move khelte hue wicketkeeper G Kamalini ko unke base price 40 lakh mein uthaya. GG ne Ireland ki allrounder Orla Prendergast ko bhi 30 lakh mein apni squad ka hissa banaya.
UP Warriorz yahi nahi ruki. Unhone experience par bharosa dikhate hue Sneh Rana, Grace Harris aur Sushma Verma ko unke base price par apni team mein jagah di. Sneh Rana ab apni chauthi WPL team ke liye khelni nazar aayengi. Rana ne kaha ki wo Meg Lanning ki captaincy mein khelne ke liye kaafi excited hain aur Deepti Sharma ke saath unka coordination fatal sabit hoga.
Lekin auction hamesha sabke liye khushiyan nahi lata. England ki star Sophia Dunkley aur Sri Lanka ki veteran captain Chamari Athapaththu jaise bade naam pehle round mein unsold rahe, jisne sabko shock kar diya hai.
Analysis & Numbers
- Sophie Molineux: 1.10 Crore to UP Warriorz (Highest buy of the session)
- Kiran Navgire: 75 Lakh to Delhi Capitals
- Sneh Rana, Grace Harris, Sushma Verma: Picked at Base Price (30 Lakh each) by UPW
- Gujarat Giants: Left with only 1 slot and 55 lakh remaining in purse
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 0 players bought after first six sets of players
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
UP Warriorz ne auction mein dominance dikhayi hai. Unka spin attack ab paper par world-class lag raha hai. Sophie Molineux aur Sneh Rana ki jodi opposition ko chakma dene ke liye taiyaar hai. Wahi RCB ki strategy samajh se pare hai: itni khamoshi kahin toofan se pehle ki shanti to nahi? Chamari Athapaththu ka unsold jaana yeh dikhata hai ki franchises reputation se zyada current balance par focus kar rahi hain.
