“Vaishnavi Sharma will join MI for Rs 30 Lakh,” the WPL said in a release.
Vaishnavi, who was part of India’s U-19 World Cup winning squad in 2025, made her international debut against Sri Lanka last month in a five-match T20I series that India won 5-0.
The 20-year-old left-arm spinner impressed with her neat bowling throughout the series, picking up five wickets and showing good control.
