From Art To Cricket: Mallika Sagar’s Journey To WPL 2024 Auction House
The stage is set for Saturday’s Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction, drawing attention not just to the teams and players, but also to the auctioneer, Mallika Sagar.
A renowned art collector and auctioneer for over two decades, Sagar broke barriers in 2001 as the first Indian-origin woman auctioneer at Christie’s. Her experience extends to the Pro Kabaddi League and the inaugural WPL auction last year.
Sagar’s talent and expertise are generating buzz, with reports suggesting she may replace Hugh Edmeades as the auctioneer for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction.
Mallika Sagar’s Expertise Takes the Spotlight:
While the focus will be on the teams and players vying for their chance to shine in the WPL, Mallika Sagar’s presence as auctioneer adds another layer of intrigue to the event.
Her experience and skill promise to guide the auction seamlessly and add to the high-energy atmosphere.
WPL Auction Poised for Excitement:
With 165 players (104 Indian and 61 overseas) vying for spots, including 15 from associate nations, the WPL auction promises to be a thrilling affair. Five teams – Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, UP Warriorz, and Royal Challengers – will compete to fill 30 slots.
The Giants, with the biggest salary cap of INR 5.95 crore and 10 slots to fill, are poised for significant acquisitions. The Capitals, last year’s runners-up, seek to strengthen their roster with three slots available and a salary cap of INR 2.25 crore.
Fans can expect to see renowned players like Annabel Sutherland, Chamari Athapaththu, Deandra Dottin, and Amy Jones go under the hammer, adding to the excitement of the auction.
As the defending champions, Mumbai Indians, led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, will look to bolster their team and defend their title.
