Deandra Dottin celebrates big payday at WPL auction

Deandra Dottin was the most expensive overseas buy at the 2025 WPL auction. She was picked up for INR 1.7 crore (US$200,000) by Gujarat Giants, the team that had controversially excluded her after the first season. She watched the auction proceedings with her West Indies captain Hayley Matthews and celebrated later in the day by smashing 52 off 28 balls in the first T20I against India in Mumbai, although West Indies lost the game.
