At 16, Tamil Nadu’s Kamalini becomes a WPL crorepati
Hindustan TimesChandigarh: Sunday turned out to be special for G Kamalini, a 16-year-old allrounder from Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu’s 16-year-old G Kamalini was picked up by Mumbai Indians for ₹ 1.6 Cr at the WPL auction. The left-handed opener hit an unbeaten 29-ball 44 to set up India’s nine-wicket triumph in Malaysia, which was followed by Mumbai Indians buying the uncapped player for ₹1.6 crore at the WPL player auction, making her the youngest crorepati in the women’s league. The franchises were keen to bag the TN allrounder since she became the second highest run-scorer in the U-19 Women’s T20 Trophy, aggregating 311 runs in eight matches to guide Tamil Nadu to victory a few months ago. Playing under Harmanpreet Kaur with Jhulan Goswami as mentor would be a phenomenal experience,” said Kamalini, whose inspiration is Domnic Kishore, who plays division cricket in the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association league.
