At 16, TN's Kamalini becomes WPL crorepati
Hindustan Times
|December 16, 2024
Sunday turned out to be special for G Kamalini, a 16-year-old allrounder from Tamil Nadu.
First, it was her India U-19 debut against Pakistan in Kuala Lumpur, in the U-19 Women's Asia Cup. Then came the Women's Premier League (WPL) mini-auction in Bengaluru, and she was primed to be lapped up due to her stupendous domestic season.
The left-handed opener hit an unbeaten 29-ball 44 to set up India's nine-wicket triumph in Malaysia, which was followed by Mumbai Indians (MI) buying the uncapped player for ₹1.6 crore at the WPL player auction, making her the youngest crorepati in the women's league.
Twenty days ago, 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Bihar, became the youngest to sign an IPL contract, after Rajasthan Royals bought him at the player auction.
From a base price of ₹10 lakh, Kamalini attracted intense competition between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians with MI ultimately winning the bid.
