#1. Vrinda Dinesh (UP)
Vrinda Dinesh will be in the spotlight throughout the season. The Karnataka player became the second most expensive uncapped player in the league history when UP roped her in for a whopping Rs. 1.3 crore in the 2024 auction. Dinesh excelled with the bat in the last two domestic seasons. She played a crucial role in Karnataka’s run-up to the final of the Senior Women’s One-Day tournament. Having scored over 477 runs in 11 innings, the 22-year-old emerged as the tournament’s fifth-highest run-scorer.
