Motivating kashvee

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The upcoming third edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), starting from Friday, serves as a key platform for Indian players aiming for national team selection.

Gujarat Giants’ (GG) fast-bowling all-rounder Kashvee Gautam is sure to attract the attention of onlookers in the Indian cricket ecosystem. She first came into limelight by picking up ten wickets in an innings, including a hat-trick, for Chandigarh in an Under-19 one-day game in 2020.

In December 2023, she became the most expensive uncapped Indian cricketer in WPL’s history with a pay cheque of Rs 2 crore in the auction ahead of 2024 WPL. But Kashvee never set foot on the field due to a stress fracture in the toe of her left foot, ruling her out of WPL 2024.
