Royal Challengers Bangalore: With INR 5.95 crores, Gujarat Giants have the highest remaining purse among all franchises ahead of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction, to be held on Saturday. At the same time, they need to fill the most number of slots (10) and former India cricketer WV Raman believes the side will be eyeing to rope in two fast-bowlers.

“Their retentions suggest that they’ve banked on batters taking them along. In this kind of competition, be it WPL or IPL, the foreigners are required either to generate pace or to hit fast bowlers. But what’s happened here is that they’ve let go of all their fast bowlers.”

“For instance, (Annabel) Sutherland was let go and she’s a very good all-rounder, I thought that was a surprise. And now they’ve got to look for two fast bowlers and they need a couple of Indian batters and spinners as well,” said Raman on JioCinema.
