A light-hearted but noticeable slip occurred during the WPL 2026 Auction when the Auctioneer Mallika Sagar accidentally skipped Kiran Navgire’s name during the proceedings. It took former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, who was present on the franchise’s seats, to point it out — reminding the auction team that Navgire was still left to be called.
The moment drew laughter and reactions online, turning into one of the early “oops moments” of the auction.
Kiran Navgire, known for her explosive batting, has been among the most destructive domestic players in recent years. The Maharashtra power-hitter holds the record for the fastest women’s T20 century, smashing a 34-ball ton in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy.
Her strike rates across tournaments underline her dominance:
- 235.35 in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy
- 177.53 in the Senior Women’s Inter-Zonal T20
Both were the highest in the competitions, reaffirming her status as one of India’s biggest hitting talents.
