Watch: Celebrations Galore As India Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur Goes to Mumbai Indians In WPL Auction

Indian women's cricket team skipper Harmanpreet Kaur joined Mumbai Indians for Rs 1.8 crore in the inaugural Women's Premier League (WPL) auction on Monday. Harmanpreet, who is well known for her aggressive brand of batting and slow off-spin, became the first buy for the Mumbai franchise and the second one in the auction.

There was a brief bidding war between MI and Royal Challengers Bangalore but it was MI who were ultimately successful. Harmanpreet was watching the auction along with her India teammates and the room burst into applause once the bidding was completed.
