Uncapped India all-rounder Kashvee Gautam sparked a bidding war and made the headline on Saturday as she was roped in by Gujarat Giants for a mammoth Rs 2 crore in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 auction in Mumbai.

Gautam entered the auction at the base price of Rs 10 lakh. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) quickly raised it to 15, Giants and RCB alternate. Gautam's bid crossed Rs 50 lakh as RCB did not pull back, keen on taking this fight to the finish with the Giants. At 75 lakh, a third entrant - UP Warriorz - raised the paddle, but Giants went all out with their bid as it crossed Rs 1 crore.

After fierce competition with other teams for the uncapped player, the Giants waited patiently and roped in Kashvee Gautam for Rs 2 crore. Kashvee, a right-arm seamer who can strike the long ball, made history in 2020 when she took ten wickets, including a hat-trick, in a one-day match for Chandigarh versus Arunachal Pradesh in the women's domestic Under-19 league. The 20-year-old has played 24 T20 matches in which she has picked 22 wickets.
