Minnu Mani had an impressive outing in the 2023 Senior Women's One Day Trophy, scoring 246 runs from 8 matches at an average of 41 and picking up 12 wickets at 16.75 and an economy rate of 3.79. What followed was a WPL contract with DC, making her the first Kerala player to achieve that. An athletic fielder as well, Mani is also the first woman from Kerala to play a T20I for India. The 25-year-old, who made her ODI debut shortly before TATA WPL 2025, was also part of the Indian squad that won their maiden Asian Games gold medal. She is all set to represent Delhi Capitals in TATA WPL 2026 after she was picked up by the franchise at INR 40 lakh ahead of the season.
