Top 3 uncapped batters to watch out for in WPL 2026

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 is set to get underway on Friday, January 9, in Navi Mumbai, with defending champions Mumbai Indians Women taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women in the opening match. Over the years, the WPL has emerged as a perfect platform for young and emerging cricketers to showcase their talent on the biggest stage.

With international stars sharing the dressing room, uncapped Indian players often get the opportunity to learn, grow, and make a strong impression. As the new season approaches, CricTracker has a look at the top three uncapped batters who will be in the spotlight this year.

Here are the top 3 uncapped batters to watch out for in WPL 2026

Niki Prasad

The 20-year-old Niki Prasad is one of the most promising batters heading into WPL 2026. Representing Delhi Capitals, she featured in three innings last season, scoring 78 runs, a modest return, but one that does not fully reflect her potential. She shot to prominence after leading the India to the Under-19 World Cup title in 2024-25, showcasing her leadership qualities.

Playing alongside experienced internationals such as Jemimah Rodrigues, Laura Wolvaardt, and Marizanne Kapp will be invaluable for her development. With increased confidence and exposure, Prasad will be keen to make the most of her opportunities this season.
