Tamil Nadu all-rounder G Kamalini was signed by Mumbai Indians for a staggering Rs. 1.60 crore in the WPL 2025 mini auction happening in Bengaluru on Sunday.
Starting at a base price of Rs. 10 lakh, Kamalini saw her price tag swell thanks to Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. The two bid for the all-rounder’s signature at a furious pace, with MI finally winning the battle.
Kamalini emerged as one of the most in-demand players in the auction pool after her recent performance in the domestic tournaments.
The 16-year-old Kamalini was the second-top scorer in the U19 Women’s T20 Trophy with 311 runs in eight games, as she helped Tamil Nadu win the title in October. What stood out was her six-hitting ability, with the left-handed batter tallying 10 maximums in the tournament.
Kamalini is a versatile player, who can contribute with her part-time spin, while also having kept wickets at various age group levels. The 16-year-old is currently training at the Super Kings academy.
