Kasat and Inamdar bring domestic form


Kasat recently played a key role in Vidarbha’s chase against Punjab in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy in Lucknow. She opened the innings and scored an unbeaten 66 off 52 balls, ANI reported.

Wicketkeeper-batter Inamdar also joined MI at her base price of Rs 10 lakh. In the same match, she made a quickfire 17 off eight balls. She joined Kasat at 119 for five in Vidarbha’s chase of 151.

Kasat is also known for her fielding and is expected to add depth and versatility to the MI squad. The franchise also signed uncapped spinner Rawal for Rs 10 lakh.

UP Warriorz bring back Molineux and Harris

Earlier in the auction, UP Warriorz (UPW) bought Australian all-rounder Sophie Molineux for Rs 1.10 crore. UPW and RCB fought a bidding contest for her before UPW won it with a final bid of Rs 1.10 crore. Molineux was part of RCB’s title-winning campaign in 2024.
