'People asked me what are you gonna do with those 3.4 crores' - Smriti Mandhana reacts to her WPL paycheck

India TV News  

India's opening batter Smriti Mandhana made a big splash after she ended up being the most expensive player sold at the inaugural Women's Premier League auction on February 13. The southpaw bagged a deal of INR 3.4 crore from Royal Challengers Bangalore and was handed the responsibility to lead the side in the opening edition of the tournament. Though Royal Challengers Bangalore had a forgettable season after they finished second from bottom with just two victories in as many as eight games, Smriti's hefty check made a lot of headlines. I don't think many people know how things work behind the scenes and not that we are really vocal about what are we earning and I am really happy it is not talked about as I feel really shy about it," said Smriti in an interview with independent journalist Annesha Ghosh on the latter's YouTube channel.
