DY Patil Sports Academy: Defending champions Mumbai Indians will begin their Women’s Premier League 2026 campaign with a settled and championship-ready core, with experts identifying the re-signing of Amelia Kerr as a key factor in the franchise’s title defence. The team brought the New Zealand player for 3 crore in the WPL Mega Auction held last year.

Former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim said Kerr was Mumbai Indians’ primary target at the auction as they looked to rebuild their title-winning combination.

“Mumbai Indians knew that to rebuild the same title-winning team, they had to bring back one or two players they had released. Their main target was Amelia Kerr. She has performed very well,” Karim said on JioStar.
