India batter Kiran Navgire is hoping Delhi Capitals can go all the way in the upcoming WPL after being bought by the franchise that has lost the last four finals of the competition. Delhi Capitals shelled out Rs 75 lakh for the services of the power-hitting Navgire, who has played six T20Is for India. “I have played with Chinelle Henry before, and I have also played with Shafali Verma. I have also spoken to Jemimah Rodrigues in the past, so I know most of the players. I am very excited to share the dressing room and play alongside all of them,” Navgire told JioStar. “Delhi Capitals have reached the final four times, so this year we have a chance to win it. I feel that what the team has been waiting for over the last four years will finally be fulfilled this season.”
India all-rounder Sneh Rana was bought by UP Warriorz for her base price of Rs 30 lakh. It will be her fourth franchise in five seasons.
“As I always say, whenever I get an opportunity, whichever team I go to, I want to give my best for them. Now that I’ve joined UP Warriorz, I want to do the same,” she said.
On the team’s spin-bowling unit, she added: “Sophie Ecclestone and Deepti Sharma will be bowling alongside me. I’ve always played with Deepti, so I know her strengths, and there will be good communication between us. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
She is also excited about playing under former Australia captain Meg Lanning.
“I’m very excited. I’ve always watched her on TV, and even now, seeing her lead UP Warriorz feels really good. Watching her captaincy and the changes she makes is great,” added Sneh.
