Shweta Sehrawat is the lowest-risk player among these five, primarily because her base price of ₹10 lakh makes her an affordable, low-commitment option for any franchise. The young Indian top-order batter was released by UP Warriorz after scoring just 46 runs in seven games in 2026, but her age and domestic pedigree mean teams could still view her as a worthwhile developmental signing.

In an auction where purse management matters, a ₹10 lakh investment is far easier to justify than a ₹30 lakh to ₹40 lakh gamble. However, Sehrawat is not completely safe. Indian batting talent is deeply crowded in this pool, and franchises may prefer players with more distinctive skills — such as explosive power-hitting, wicketkeeping ability or proven finishing. Sehrawat's release from UP Warriorz suggests her previous franchise did not see an immediate first-team role for her. If teams fill their Indian batting slots with cheaper or more specialised options, she could still miss out despite her low reserve price.
