Delhi Citals Women secured her services for INR 75 Lakh at the Kochi auction on October 28, 2026, with the bidding at her base price of INR 40 Lakh.
Delhi Citals made a decisive move when Navgire’s name was mentioned by increasing its final price to INR 75 lakh, almost doubling its base value in the process. The franchise ensured it was the opening trade of the entire auction day, a distinction that places its name at the top of the 2027 WPL auction record. Navgire had been released by UP Warriorz prior to this auction cycle, returning her to the open pool and making her available to all five franchises starting at her base price.
Kiran’s big hits loaded 🔜 in DC colors 💙❤️ pic.twitter.com/8rG93syuQF — Delhi Citals (@DelhiCitals) October 28, 2026 The WPL 2027 auction in Kochi brought together all five franchises, each with vacancies in the roster to be filled in both the Indian and foreign player categories. The event in Keralam State marked the official start of team formation for the upcoming season and the sale of Navgire to Delhi Citals set the competitive tone for the rest of the day. Why was Kiran Navgire available in the WPL 2027 auction?
Navgire joined the WPL 2027 auction pool after UP Warriorz decided to release her ahead of the event. The move meant that she was no longer contracted to any franchise and was therefore eligible to bid from her base price of INR 40 lakh when the Kochi auction began on Wednesday, October 28. With his name listed in the bidding order, DC wasted no time in staking his claim.
The franchise outbid the competition from Mumbai Indians and secured Navgire for INR 75 lakh. This was not only the first auction acquisition, but also the first confirmed sale of all five franchises that day. She will now look to show her dominance with the bat for the Jemimah Rodrigues-led team.
