The WPL 2027 auction took place on October 28, 2026, with franchises competing for 27 available slots from a pool of 150 shortlisted players. Indian talent drew strong interest across the bidding table throughout the day.
Among the Indian players sold, a clear price hierarchy emerged. Kiran Navgire topped the Indian standings, while G. Kamalini and a group of four players rounded out the most expensive domestic buys of the day.
1. Kiran Navgire (Delhi Capitals) – INR 75 lakhs
Kiran Navgire was the highest-priced Indian player at the WPL 2027 auction, with Delhi Capitals securing her for ₹75 lakh. Her base price had been set at ₹40 lakh, and the bidding pushed well beyond that figure. Navgire finished as the second-most expensive player across the entire auction, with only Australia’s Sophie Molineux — sold to UP Warriorz for ₹1.1 crore — commanding a higher price on the day.
Navgire is known for her explosive batting and big-hitting ability, but has yet to have a consistent run of form throughout a season. She will be looking to make a mark in this season with her new team, and repay the faith they have shown in her with the notable sum.
