WPL 2026 Auction: 6 released players teams might target with RTM cards

The Women’s Premier League is set for its first mega auction, with the event scheduled to take place on November 27 in Delhi. A total of 277 players, including 83 overseas names, will go under the hammer for 73 available slots, but the Right-to-Match (RTM) card is expected to be a major option for teams.

For the first time, franchises can use RTM to buy back players who were part of their 2025 squad. UP Warriorz, who retained only Shweta Sehrawat, hold the strongest hand with four RTM cards and a massive INR 14.50 crore purse. Gujarat Giants have three RTMs (Indian players only), while Royal Challengers Bengaluru have one card for an uncapped Indian. Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians, both of whom retained the maximum five players, will enter the auction without any RTM options.

Here are the top 6 released uncapped Indian players likely to fetch big money at auction

With her base price set at INR 30 lakh and several teams eyeing reliable power-hitters, UP Warriorz may well use their RTM card to bring back her services.
