Pacer Kashvee Gautam, the most costly uncapped Indian purchase on the Women’s Premier League (WPL) public sale, says the wicket of Australian opener Alyssa Healy will deliver her most pleasure within the upcoming version.
Gautam, the seamer from Chandigarh, was purchased for Rs 2 crore by Gujarat Giants on the public sale on Saturday.
“It’s quite unbelievable at the moment. I was travelling in the team bus after practice and was informed about the auction by a teammate. The amount kept rising and I was selected.
“It’s a huge opportunity for me to showcase my skills. We have always looked up to Mithali ji. It’s a great opportunity for me to interact with her and seek tips from her,” stated Gautam, referring to Giants mentor Mithali Raj, who was on the public sale desk.

On the gamers she is worked up about bowling to, Gautam stated: “I think Alyssa Healy or any other foreign batter like Hayley Matthews.” Gautam was not a part of the opening WPL version however she tracked the proceedings from the sidelines and discovered from them too.
“I think teams need to be more impactful in the lower middle order batting. They need to accelerate in the last 3-4 overs, so I have practiced accordingly. I have worked on range hitting. I have to be flexible with my bowling, to be able to bowl well with both the new and old balls.” She can also be hoping {that a} good outing in WPL will result in an India debut.
“When you start off, there are a few doubts that creep in, but as and when you start growing, you begin reaping the rewards of your hard work. The picture is clear for me now. I know I want to go on and play for India and perform well there,” stated Gautam.
