Today is the Women's Premier League (WPL 2027) auction, which will be held in Kochi on October 28th.

Uttar Pradesh Warriors will enter the auction with the largest purse of ₹3.75 crore, while Mumbai Indians have only ₹9 million left.

The Uttar Pradesh team, in particular, could see significant changes. Since it has the most money, it's highly likely that it will bring in the highest bids in the auction. However, RCB, Gujarat Giants, and Delhi Capitals also have over ₹1 crore remaining in their purses. Find out here which three players could command the highest bids in the WPL 2027 auction.

1. Sophie Molineau - Base price: Rs 50 lakh

Sophie Molineau isn't just a formidable spin bowler. She can bat lower down the order and brings leadership skills. Under her captaincy, Australia won the Women's T20 World Cup 2026. Molineau is also in excellent form, finishing with 16 wickets and becoming Australia's most successful bowler this year. The Uttar Pradesh Warriors, who will be in dire need of senior players, could also be in the bidding war.

2. Chamari Atapattu - Base Price Rs 30 Lakh

The current captain of the Sri Lankan women's cricket team, Chamari Atapattu, will have a base price of ₹30 lakh. She is also one of the world's best all-rounders, ranking third in T20Is. She was released by the Uttar Pradesh Warriors. Atapattu possesses explosive batting at the top of the order and is also adept at weaving a web of spin. This, combined with her captaincy experience, could fetch her a substantial amount of money at auction.

3. Vrinda Dinesh - Base price Rs 10 lakh

Ahead of the auction, 25-year-old batsman Vrinda Dinesh's name is being widely discussed. She has only played 10 matches in the Women's Premier League, scoring 102 runs. She has had a strong year. First, she scored 171 runs at a strike rate of 176.28 in the Women's Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament. She then played for India A and performed well against Australia and England. She maintained her good form in the Maharani T20 Trophy 2026 tournament, scoring 256 runs in seven innings. A bidding war is likely between the Delhi Capitals and the UP Warriors for her.
