Salwan Girls School: When the 2024 Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction was happening in Mumbai on December 9, 2023, Delhi leg-spinner Priya Mishra was in the same city. However, the 19-year-old got to see the auction on the bus after wrapping up the practice session ahead of Delhi’s opening match against Gujarat in the U23 Women’s T20 Trophy.
When her name came up for auction, Priya and her teammates were gathered in the hotel room -- a mixture of excitement and curiosity buzzed among them, all eager to discover who would successfully rope in Priya for the tournament.
Even Priya's mother Sudha and elder sister Kajal, who were at home in Delhi, felt that same sensation as they kept talking to her over the phone. The moment the Adani Sportsline-owned Gujarat Giants secured Priya for INR 20 lakh; the atmosphere turned electric. Joyful celebrations and tears of happiness ensued, as the young leg-spinner grasped the reality of joining WPL 2024.
