Women's Premier League: At last the hours of waiting were over. The fourth season of the Women's Premier League is just about to begin. This tournament will start from January 9, in which the first match will be between RCB and Mumbai Indians. Many big players are going to enter this tournament. Apart from Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, many international stars are going to be seen in WPL 2026. But this time some players are also going to enter the WPL field for the first time. Let us tell you about those domestic superstars of India who can do wonders in the Women's Premier League this time.

Diya Yadav

This explosive right-handed batsman has been bought by Delhi Capitals. This 16 year old player is being called Vaibhav Suryavanshi of WPL. Because his age is also young and his batting style is similar to Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Diya has been in the spotlight ever since she scored unbeaten 213 runs on 125 balls for Haryana against Tripura in the Under-15 ODI Championship in 2023. This batsman has performed brilliantly for both Haryana and North Zone in many tournaments. 16 year old Diya is also a strong contender to join Team India for the Under-19 World Cup to be held in 2027.

Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma has been bought by Gujarat Giants. This middle order batsman also does off spin. His ability to hit sixes and brilliant short innings brought him into the limelight during the BCCI Interstate Tournament. She scored 155 runs in five innings and was the third highest run scorer of the tournament. While playing for Bundelkhand Bulls in Madhya Pradesh Women's League, Anushka also hit some big shots.

Yes Trisha

G Trisha made her debut in Under-16 cricket for Hyderabad at the age of just eight. Since then he has made great progress in Under-19 and Under-23 cricket. Trisha was also named Player of the Tournament during India's victory in the Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup in 2025. Along with scoring a century, he scored 309 runs at an average of 77.25 in that tournament. Trisha also took seven wickets with her leg spin bowling and can prove to be an excellent all-rounder for UP Warriors.

Gautami Naik, RCB

After years of hard work in domestic cricket, Gautami has got a place in the Women's Cricket League. He started his career from Maharashtra, but after the Corona epidemic, he got very few opportunities, due to which he decided to start afresh in Nagaland with Poonam Khemnar and Kiran Navgire. The turning point of his career came during an exhibition match in Pune, where his brilliant batting attracted the attention of Kiran More. Due to this, she got a chance for the trials of Mumbai Indians and then she went to Baroda. He had two great seasons in Baroda, which helped him make a comeback in Maharashtra. Gautami opened with Smriti Mandhana for Ratnagiri Jets in the Women's MPL and RCB included her in their team.
