RCB chased Anushka Sharma in the WPL Auction, but lost out on a bidding war with the Gujarat Giants. The Madhya Pradesh all-rounder made waves in domestic cricket which has translated into a bid at the WPL 2026 Auction. A promising all-rounder, Sharma’s bid went viral given she is the namesake of Bollywood actress and RCB legend’s wife Anushka Sharma.
The 22-year-old hails from Madhya Pradesh and has been in circuit for a while. She has regularly featured in age groups in the Indian domestic circuit. Earlier this month, Sharma scored a fine 80 playing for Central Zone Women. The 22-year-old is a handy right-arm off-break bowler, adding depth and variety.
RCB chased Anushka Sharma for a while but it was Gujarat Giants who got the 22-year-old for ₹45 Lakh.
