Karnataka's Uma Kashvi becomes youngest player sold at WPL auction

Uma Kashvi, a 15-year-old all-rounder from Karnataka, was signed by Delhi Capitals for Rs 10 lakh at the WPL 2027 auction held on October 28 in Kochi, making her the youngest player ever sold in the league's history. Kashvi, an off-spinner and middle-order batsman, has drawn attention for her impressive junior performance, including an unbeaten double century at age 12. She has also captained teams in the Karnataka age-group system and recently represented India Under-19. Her WPL debut may be postponed due to her involvement in India's Under-19 World Cup plans, scheduled to overlap with the league. Delhi Capitals views her signing as a long-term investment.
