What you need to know about Kashvee Gautam, who was sold to GG for INR 2 crore at the WPL auction

Indian uncapped player Kashvee Gautam made history in the Women’s Premier League by being the most expensive uncapped player ever when she won INR 2 crore from the Gujarat Giants in a heated bidding battle. When Gautam was sold to UP Warriorz, she shattered Vrinda Dinesh’s record, who had just raised INR 1.3 crore. Several franchises battled for Chandigarh’s Gautam, who set her base price at INR 10 lakh, in a gripping episode of the auction drama.

The Giants raised the paddle first in the auction, but Royal Challengers Bangalore quickly raised the ante to INR 15 lakh. The Giants and RCB engaged in a series of calculated volleys that culminated in a bid that exceeded INR 50 lakh, highlighting both sides’ resolve in this crucial match.

When UP Warriorz entered the fight at INR 75 lakh, adding a new aspect to the proceedings, the intensity increased. The Giants, on the other hand, showed unflinching tenacity and successfully pushed the price well over INR 1 crore. Not to be outdone, Warriorz countered with a bid of 1.1 crore, but the Giants raised the paddle before time, taking the price to 1.2 crore. The proceedings continued to escalate, and the suspense increased as the Giants raised their bid to an astounding 1.4 crore with a sardonic smile.

At INR 2 crore, the auction came to a halt, and the Warriorz camp held a reflective conversation. Warriorz eventually pulled out in a decisive move that brought an exciting bidding war to an end.
