After being acquired for INR 10 lakh by UP Warriorz in the inaugural TATA WPL auction, to becoming the most expensive pick at INR 1.9 Crore in the WPL 2025 auction, Simran Shaikh has come a long way. The Mumbai batter can bat in the top order as well as the middle order and is best known for her power-hitting abilities. Shaikh’s WPL career is yet to take off the way she would have wanted, but with a strong domestic record and great promise, she now has another great opportunity to come good on the big stage, this time with the UP Warriorz.
