India’s star left-arm spinner Radha Yadav has been SOLD to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the WPL 2026 Auction, strengthening their spin attack for the upcoming season. One of the most athletic players in the circuit, Radha remains arguably the best fielder in Indian women’s cricket and brings immense value across phases.
Radha has been a consistent performer for India with an impressive T20I economy of 6.61, making her a reliable option in the middle overs. Beyond her bowling, she also carries the ability to play big hits down the order, giving RCB much-needed lower-order depth.
This comes on a busy auction day filled with big signings, including Deepti Sharma to UPW for Rs 3.2 crore (RTM), Amelia Kerr back to MI for Rs 3 crore, Sophie Devine to Gujarat Giants for Rs 2 crore, Meg Lanning to UPW for Rs 1.9 crore, Laura Wolvaardt to DC for Rs 1.10 crore, Phoebe Litchfield to UPW for Rs 1.20 crore, and Nadine de Klerk to RCB for Rs 65 lakh.
With Radha Yadav joining the squad, RCB boost their spin arsenal and fielding standards for WPL 2026.
