Deepti Sharma is an experienced player now and is also an all-rounder. She is a smart brain and can lead a side well. She easily makes it to the current World XI T20 team in women's cricket and she knows her worth. That is why she has put herself in the Rs 50 lakh bracket. Think the teams might target him as she can be a good captain. (Image source: Twitter)

Smriti Mandhana, vice captain of Team India, is surely going to lead a team in the Women's Premier League. She is a great batter and a team player. Mandhana is already being seen as successor to Team India captain Harmanpreet Kaur and it is only good that she prepares herself with captaincy stint in the WPL. (Image source: Twitter)

Ellyse Perry

5/5
Ellyse Perry

Australia's Ellyse Perry has done it all. Batting. Bowling. Fielding. She has even played a Football World Cup. The one thing that she still has to achieve is win a big tournament as captain. WPL is a great opportunity for her. Think the teams will need such veterans and role models to become the captain of the sides in the initial years to ensure the basics are done right. (Image source: Twitter)
