Smriti Mandhana, the top opener for India, was the first player ever selected when the auction got off. She became the most expensive player in the WPL when Royal Challengers Bangalore splashed out a whopping Rs 3.4 crore. Moments afterwards, Mumbai Indians purchased her captain and star batswoman Harmanpreet Kaur for INR 1.8 crore. International talent from other countries got a lot of attention in the auction. But one nation will miss out on this opportunity: Pakistan's cricketers were never in the race to join the league because they were completely absent from the auction list.
