Meet Uma Kashvi: The 15-Year-Old Star of the WPL Auction

New Delhi, October 29 (Daily Kiran) : Uma Kashvi, a 15-year-old cricket prodigy, made headlines during the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 mini auction held in Kochi on October 29. The Delhi Capitals secured her services for ₹10 lakh, making her the youngest player ever sold in WPL history.

Born on April 9, 2011, in Karnataka, Uma started playing cricket at the tender age of seven. She enrolled in a cricket academy to hone her skills and quickly made a name for herself in the sport.

Uma is versatile, contributing both as a right-arm spinner and a batswoman. She gained significant attention during the BCCI Women’s Under-15 tournament, where she scored 516 runs at an impressive average of 172, including three centuries and one half-century. Additionally, she has captained the Karnataka Under-15 team.

With her auction success, Uma broke the record previously held by Diya Yadav, who was bought by the Delhi Capitals at 16 years old during the WPL 2026 auction. Currently, Uma is part of the Karnataka Under-19 team and has already clinched titles in the Under-19 T20 trophy and the Karnataka Women’s League.

Another young talent, 16-year-old Samaira Raghav, also made waves in the auction, joining Gujarat Giants for ₹10 lakh. Known for her aggressive batting and spin bowling, she has impressed many during her performances in the Delhi Premier League.

Uma Kashvi’s journey is just beginning, and her debut in WPL 2027 is highly anticipated by fans and cricket enthusiasts alike.
