WPL 2027 auction strategies discussed by Reema Malhotra
Cricket expert Reema Malhotra has outlined key strategies for franchises ahead of the WPL 2027 auction, scheduled to begin on October 28 in Kochi.
Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are expected to focus on acquiring Indian batters and all-rounders to address gaps in their middle order, specifically the number four position. Malhotra suggested promoting Richa Ghosh to number four to allow Radha Yadav to occupy the number five spot. For overseas talent, she identified Australian players Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris as potential targets for the franchise.
Additionally, wicketkeeper-batter Sushma Verma is projected to be a highly sought-after player. Malhotra anticipates a bidding competition between the UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians for her services, noting that Verma's recent experience in the Women’s Caribbean Premier League adds significant value. Other players mentioned as potential targets for various teams include G. Kamalini, Uma Chetry, and Pooja Vastrakar.
