Bidding is on in Kochi and this page is filling team by team. Each section shows what the franchise needed going in, what it has bought so far and the money left.
🔵 Delhi Capitals
Went in with ₹1.1 crore for 5 spots, 1 of them overseas. Bench strength. The XI picks itself, so the one overseas spot and four Indian spots are about cover for injuries and the spin-friendly venues.
That is 1 buy for ₹75 lakh, a squad of 14, and ₹35 lakh left.
🟠 Gujarat Giants
Went in with ₹1.25 crore for 3 spots, 1 of them overseas. Fine-tuning. Fifteen players already, so one overseas pick and two Indian squad players. They can afford to go past ₹1 crore on a single name if it is the right one.
That is 2 buys for ₹70 lakh, a squad of 17, and ₹55 lakh left.
💙 Mumbai Indians
Went in with ₹90 lakh for 6 spots, 0 of them overseas. Six Indian players on ₹90 lakh, ₹15 lakh a head. Mostly uncapped buys, unless they go big on G Kamalini and accept ₹10 lakh picks for the rest.
No buys yet.
❤️ Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Went in with ₹1.15 crore for 5 spots, 2 of them overseas. Depth behind a title-winning XI. Two overseas spots matter most, with Grace Harris back in the pool at a lower base than her 2026 fee.
No buys yet.
💜 UP Warriorz
Went in with ₹3.75 crore for 8 spots, 3 of them overseas. A rebuild. Three overseas spots and the only purse that can win a bidding war outright. Expect them on every top-tier overseas name, and on a power-hitting Indian batter to replace Kiran Navgire.
That is 3 buys for ₹1.7 crore, a squad of 13, and ₹2.05 crore left.
Every squad, the sold list and the purse table, kept current on the WPL 2027 hub.
