WPL Player Auction: RCB's Plan A Worked To Perfection For Them, Says Abhinav Mukund
In the marquee sets, RCB bought India vice-captain and left-handed opener Smriti Mandhana for a whopping INR 3.4 crore, the most for a player in the auction. They also acquired New Zealand captain Sophie Devine at her base price of INR 50 lakhs and Australia's premier all-rounder Ellyse Perry for INR 1.7 crore.
"I thought RCB were very clear in their plans. They wanted Smriti Mandhana no matter what. They see her as a leadership option and at the top of the order too in particular. After that, they just went after Sophie Devine as her opening partner."
