REVEALED! Why Did Nita Ambani Not Bid For World Cup Winner Deepti Sharma?

UP Warriorz exercised their Right to Match (RTM) card to keep Deepti Sharma in their mix for ₹3.2 crore during WPL mega auction in New Delhi.

The star all-rounder sparked a fierce contest between Delhi Capitals and UP Warriorz, with bidding opening at her base price of ₹50 lakh.

Just as Delhi appeared ready to close the deal, UP Warriorz Women activated their RTM option in the WPL Auction 2026. Delhi Capitals escalated the bid to ₹3.2 crore, but UP Warriorz matched it, ensuring Deepti remained with the franchise.

Why Did Nita Ambani Not Bid For WC Winner Deepti Sharma?

Deepti Sharma WPL auction price was always a big question ahead of this event. Even it was expected that Nita Ambani would bid for the World Cup winning star but they had a different plan to get back their star kiwi allrounder, Amelia Kerr and they went on to spent 3 crore in getting her back.

Nita Ambani WPL auction presence drew a huge attention. She has always been present in all the WPL auctions so far and is closely associated with the team. In the WPL 2026 Auction, Nita Ambani was present alongside the other MI squad members and her team's captain Harmanpreet Kaur.

Deepti Sharma WPL 2026 Price

As expected, all-rounder Deepti Sharma attracted a massive bid in the WPL 2026 auction. She was sold at INR 3.2 crore to the UP Warriorz as they aim to build a solid team. Being one of the best women cricketers at the moment, she can contribute equally with bat and ball, at any situation.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians women signed all-rounder Amelia Kerr for INR 3 crore. Kerr was with MI in the previous seasons as well and MI left no stones unturned to buy their key player once again. It remains to be seen how the auction goes ahead with plenty of quality players still left.
