Nita Ambani, the dynamic owner of Mumbai Indians, expressed her delight with the squad assembled for the Women's Premier League 2025 season, underscoring her commitment to backing young talent. The mini-auction held on Sunday proved fruitful as Mumbai Indians, the inaugural WPL champions, added four strategic players to complete their 18-member team.

Among the additions are South African all-rounder Nadine de Klerk, Madhya Pradesh all-rounder Sanskriti Gupta, Rajasthan pacer Akshita Maheshwari, and the highly anticipated 16-year-old, G Kamalini.
