Nasir Khan Pathan: Despite putting in good performances in the previous domestic season, Tarannum Pathan couldn’t find any takers in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 player auction. By her own admission, she felt bad about it, but found solace in backing from her loved ones.

Cut to now, and ahead of the start of 2024 Women’s Premier League (WPL), Tarannum, the off-spin all-rounder, sports a delightful smile, thanks to being roped in by Gujarat Giants at the player auction, where her name came at the end.

"My family supported me a lot at that time and encouraged me by saying ‘you need to put in more hard work’. My friends also supported me a lot at that time and were optimistic in their mindset by saying to me ‘you can put in better performance in next season to get selected by the franchises (in the next season)’,” said Tarannum in a virtual interaction organised by Gujarat Giants.
