Uma Kashvi Creates WPL History at 15 Years Old, Delhi Capitals Snap up Young Allrounder for ₹10 Lakh

The 15-year-old Karnataka all-rounder drew attention for her spin bowling and India Under-19 experience before Delhi Capitals made a late bid.

  • On Wednesday, Delhi Capitals signed 15-year-old Uma Kashvi, a right-arm spin-bowling all-rounder from Karnataka, for Rs 10 lakh at the Women's Premier League auction in Kochi.
  • Born on April 9, 2011, Kashvi entered the auction as the youngest player on the list, sharing that distinction with 15-year-old Anshu Nagar, born January 26, 2011.
  • She featured in the recent India Under-19 series against Sri Lanka Under-19, taking four wickets in three T20 matches and two more in two one-day games.
  • Mentorship from Delhi Capitals captain Jemimah Rodrigues offers the youngster an opportunity to learn from one of India's prominent batters within the professional franchise environment.
  • This deal marks a significant milestone in Kashvi's young career as she prepares for a potential transition to the senior professional stage alongside established international players.
