Would have liked to have it named Women's Indian Premier League (WIPL) like the ones for all ICC tourneys, BBL & Hundred as well. Our women cricketers represent India only, no point omitting the 'Indian' from the brand name.

Adani Group and other team owners won't pay ₹1289 cr. in one go. This amount will be paid in 10 equal installments over 10 years making it a sweet deal for all the buyers. #WomensIPL #WIPLAuction #wpl #CricketTwitter
