Indian player Jemimah Rodrigues is also a strong contender for a high bid at the WPL 2023 auction. Her domestic experience playing for Mumbai could make her a sought-after player for the Mumbai Indians franchise.
Indian opener Shafali Verma is predicted to earn the highest paycheck from the 'BA1' set. Her recent success with the senior team and U19 World Cup victory have elevated her game to a new level.
Verma's potential as a captaincy option for a few franchises makes her a likely high-priced pick in the WPL 2023 auction.
Indian players are expected to go for a higher price in the WPL 2023 auction due to their popularity and relevance to the local audience.
