The Women's Premier League has turned out to be a game-changer for female cricket in India, and the auction for the 2025 season is continuing the same legacy. Like IPL, WPL has the potential to change the financial capabilities and life of cricketers in India, and Prema Rawat who has been bought by RCB for 1.2 Crore is the latest addition to the list.

Prema Rawat is an Uttarakhand cricketer who is a quality all-rounder and has the knack of delivering under pressure. She bowls right-arm leg-spin and is a handy batter too who can use the long handle to great effect, making her a valuable asset in the shortest format of the game.
