WPL 2025: How Sanskriti Gupta Went From Being Mumbai Indians Fan To Playing For Franchise
How Sanskriti Gupta: Sanskriti Gupta’s confidence in the Mumbai Indians picking her in last year’s WPL auction in Bengaluru is evident in her clear and assured words. Sanskriti was so certain she’d join MI that she only attended the side’s trials happening before the auction.
“I was ready in my mind that maybe MI might take me in the auction this time, as I gave only their trials. When MI eventually picked me (for INR 10 lakh), everyone was very happy, including my family back home.
“The head coach (Charlotte Edwards) messaged me saying, ‘welcome to the family’. Devieka (Palshikaar, batting coach) ma’am also texted me and said, ‘It’s good you are here; we will win this time’,” recalls Sanskriti, now an MI player in WPL 2025, in an exclusive conversation with IANS.
