Shweta Sehrawat was picked by UP Warriorz for INR 40 lakh, four times her base price, at the inaugural TATA WPL auction, edging out Delhi Capitals in a bidding war. The Delhi-based Sehrawat rose to prominence in India’s victorious 2023 ICC U-19 Women's T20 World Cup campaign, finishing as the highest run-scorer with 297 runs in seven innings at an average of 99 and a strike rate of 139.43. Her three fifties included a top score of 92*. Shweta’s calmness under pressure, adaptability, and compact technique make her a valuable asset at the top order. UPW recognised that promise as Sehrawat was the only player they retained ahead of the 2026 WPL Mega Auction. She will now aim to come good on the biggest stage and help UPW to a maiden title.
