Mumbai Indians signed batter Disha Kasat, wicketkeeper-batter Latika Inamdar and spinner Bharti Rawal for Rs 10 lakh each at the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 auction in Kochi on Wednesday.

Mumbai Indians sign three uncapped players at base price

Kasat, an uncapped batter who previously represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2023 and 2024 editions, was acquired by Mumbai Indians at her base price of Rs 10 lakh. Kasat recently scored an unbeaten 66 off 52 balls while opening the innings for Vidarbha against Punjab in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy in Lucknow, according to Cricinfo. In WPL matches for Bengaluru, she made 11 runs in five innings across 10 games.

Inamdar and Rawal complete MI trio

Inamdar also joined Mumbai Indians for Rs 10 lakh. In the same Vidarbha match against Punjab, she scored a quickfire 17 off eight balls, joining Kasat at 119 for five during the chase of 151. She was the only wicketkeeper picked in the uncapped round. Rawal, a left-arm spinner based in Delhi, was signed for the same amount. She was the lone spinner to attract a bid in her segment, while Shanu Sen, Samantha Bates, Sonam Yadav and Parunika Sisodia went unsold.
