Mumbai Indians Finalize WPL 2027 Squad After Strategic Auction Picks

Mumbai Indians have completed their roster for the 2027 Women's Premier League following the auction held in Kochi. Entering the auction with a limited purse of Rs 90 lakh, the franchise adopted a strategy focused on acquiring promising uncapped Indian talent to bolster their squad after missing the playoffs in the previous season.

Auction Strategy and New Additions

Having retained 11 players from their 2026 setup and secured Tara Norris via a trade with UP Warriorz, the team utilized their remaining funds to sign six uncapped players. Each of these new recruits was secured for their base price of Rs 10 lakh:

• Disha Kasat (Batter)
• Latika Inamdar (Wicketkeeper-batter)
• Bharti Rawal (Spinner)
• Sanika Chalke (Batter)
• Shweta Sehrawat (Batter)
• Akshita Bhagat (All-rounder)

Disha Kasat, a top-order batter, marks a notable addition and is expected to compete for an opening role alongside Hayley Matthews. While the team expressed interest in other marquee players, Delhi Capitals ultimately outbid them for Kiran Navgire.
