WPL Auction 2023: India's Smriti Mandhana was the first player up for auction. After a frantic bidding war, she was sold to RCB for Rs 3.4 crore.

New Delhi: Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited, which also owns the men's Indian Premier League team, will own the Bengaluru franchise in the Women's Premier League. Outbidding 11 other bidders, the owners offered Rs 901 crore, or approximately $100 million.

India's Smriti Mandhana was the first player up for auction. After a frantic bidding war, she was sold to RCB for Rs 3.4 crore.

In addition to Chennai, Bengaluru had received the most bids: 12. It is believed that the owners focused on the WPL rather than bidding on men's teams in international leagues like ILT20 and SA20.

The Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise owners all purchased WPL teams; the Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz are the other two teams.

Mumbai will host the much-anticipated Women's Premier League (WPL) inaugural season from March 4 to March 26.

All of the games will be played at the Brabourne Stadium and the DY Patil Stadium. The Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians-owned franchise are expected to play in the tournament's opening game.
