Mumbai Indians Draft Vaishnavi Sharma After Wicketkeeper G Kamalini Is Ruled Out of WPL 2026

The defending champions now face a wicketkeeping reshuffle after the league registered 20-year-old left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma for Rs 30 lakh.

Overview

  • WPL confirmed G Kamalini is unavailable for the remainder of the season, with no details disclosed about the injury.
  • Left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma joins Mumbai Indians for INR 30 lakh after going unsold at the mega-auction, bringing U19 World Cup pedigree and five T20I wickets in five games for India.
  • Mumbai Indians sit second with two wins from five matches and have three league games left in a tight playoff race.
  • Kamalini featured in all five matches this season, scoring 75 runs, leaving MI to reconfigure their XI without their designated wicketkeeper.
  • Both Kamalini and Sharma have maiden ODI call-ups for next month’s Australia tour, and Kamalini’s availability for that series remains uncertain.
