WPL Auction 2026 Live: The biggest day of the Women’s Premier League 2026 has arrived. Mega auction will start in Delhi from 3:30 pm today, where 5 franchises will bid for a total of 277 players. However, only 73 of these teams will be able to buy. This time the first big auction of the league is taking place, so all the teams are ready to strengthen their squad.

Today 194 Indian and 83 foreign cricketers are included in the auction. The special thing is that there is maximum enthusiasm about the star players of the Indian team which recently returned after winning the World Cup. All-rounder Deepti Sharma, fast bowler Renuka Singh, as well as international stalwarts like Sophie Devine, Alyssa Healy, Meg Lanning and Laura Wolvaardt are included in the marquee set. It is expected that big bids can be made on these names today.

Who can spend how much?

UP Warriors have the biggest purse, Rs 14.5 crore because they have retained only one player, so they have to buy a total of 17 players. This team can be seen most active in the auction.

Delhi Capitals has the least amount, Rs 5.70 crore. Whereas Mumbai Indians and RCB are left with Rs 5.75 crore and Rs 6.15 crore. Gujarat Giants is entering with a purse of Rs 9 crore.

Who needs how many players?

Mumbai and Delhi have to purchase 13 players each. RCB will need 14 players, Gujarat will need 16 players and UP will need maximum 17 players. Due to this, bidding is expected to be quite intense in the initial rounds.

Who will make the record?

The biggest question before the auction is whether this time any player will get more money than Smriti Mandhana (3.4 crores)? Looking at the names included in the marquee list, this seems possible.

Where to watch the auction?
Live streaming of the auction will be on JioHotstar app, while TV viewers can watch the coverage on Star Sports Network from 2:30 pm onwards.

The 17th season of the popular TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) has started on Monday, August 11. In every episode in this show, many difficult questions are asked from the contestants, many of which are also questions related to the sports world. In the recent episode, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan asked an important question related to cricket. This question was asked for a prize of Rs 7 lakh 50 thousand, which was to respond to the contestant Manavpreet Singh, who was sitting on the hot seat.

What was the question?

Amitabh Bachchan asked Manavpreet Singh about a major achievement of the Indian women’s cricket team, in which tournament the women’s cricket team of India won the gold medal. Manpreet was given four options for this question,

Commonwealth Games

Asian Games

T20 World Cup

ODI World Cup

What was the correct answer?

The correct answer to this question was Asian Games. The Indian women’s cricket team won the gold medal for India, performing brilliantly in the 2022 Asian Games. In this tournament, the team defeated Sri Lanka by 19 runs in the final match and won the gold medal.

Special details of the match

In the Asian Games, India had decided to bat first under the captaincy of Indian team captain Harmanpreet Kaur. India scored 116 runs for 7 wickets with the help of Smriti Mandhana’s 46 runs and Jomima Rodriguez’s 42 runs. In response, Sri Lankan team Titas Sadhu and Rajeshwari Gaikwad were able to score 97 runs for 8 wickets in front of Gaikwad.

Manavpreet took support of ‘Local Paul’

However, Manavpreet Singh could not answer this question correctly and he chose one of the four options with the help of the audience using his lifeline. This question proved to be very difficult for the audience as well.

In this way, KBC once again introduced the audience to the important information of the sports world. In this season too, the audience will continue to entertain the audience with many questions of cricket.
