A batting all-rounder who has represented multiple teams on the domestic circuit, Gautami Naik is all set for her first TATA WPL after being picked by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for INR 10 Lakh in the 2026 Auction. Naik has represented Nagaland, Baroda, and Maharashtra in domestic cricket, with her recent exploits for Maharashtra earning her a spot in the WPL. The 27-year-old ended up as the third-highest run-scorer in the Women’s Maharashtra Premier League 2025 and was part of the title-winning Maharashtra side in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy 2025. Naik’s handy off-spin bowling to go with her batting makes her a valuable addition to any side.
