In the inaugural match, defending champion Mumbai Indians women’s team and Royal Challengers Bangalore (MI-W vs RCB-W) women’s team will face each other. This season, while fans will be keeping an eye on the star players, some uncapped players can also surprise everyone with their performance. Let us know about those 5 uncapped players from whom there is a lot of expectation this time.

Diya Yadav (Delhi Capitals)
Let us tell you, 16-year-old Diya Yadav of Delhi Capitals is the youngest player in WPL history. The franchise has bought him for Rs 10 lakh. Dia is a right-handed opening batsman and her record in domestic cricket has been excellent. She came into limelight by scoring a double century (213 runs) in U-15 domestic cricket. In the 2025 Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, she proved her talent by scoring 298 runs at an average of around 60.

Gongadi Trisha (UP Warriors)
Hyderabad’s Gongadi Trisha has been among the star players of the U-19 Women’s World Cup. Apart from being an excellent opener batsman, she can also bowl leg spin. She became the player of the tournament by scoring 309 runs in the Under-19 World Cup. UP Warriors have added him to the team for Rs 10 lakh.

Anushka Sharma (Gujarat Giants)
Anushka Sharma created history in the WPL 2026 auction. She became the most expensive uncapped Indian player ever, bought by Gujarat Giants for Rs 45 lakh. This all-rounder from Madhya Pradesh is effective in batting as well as bowling in the middle order. In the last domestic T20 tournament, he scored 207 runs and also took 9 wickets. His ability to finish matches makes him special.

Millie Illingworth (Mumbai Indians)
Australia’s young fast bowler Millie Illingworth is counted among the fastest rising bowlers in the world. She can bowl at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour continuously. Mumbai Indians have bought him for Rs 10 lakh. His aggressive bouncers had troubled the batsmen a lot in the Big Bash League.

Prema Rawat (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
24-year-old leg spinner Prema Rawat is in excellent form. In the India A tour against Australia A, he took 7 wickets in three T20 matches. His tight bowling in the middle overs and useful batting in the lower order makes him an important player for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
