2026 WPL Auction: UPW Buy Back Deepti, Ecclestone Via RTM; Healy Goes Unsold

Renuka Singh Thakur: UP Warriorz were expected to be busy in the marquee set of 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL) mega auction, and they lived up to the billing by buying back India all-rounder Deepti Sharma and England spinner Sophie Ecclestone via RTM card. But UPW also sprung a surprise by securing multiple World Cups-winning Australia captain Meg Lanning. Menwhile, Mumbai Indians bought back New Zealands leg-spin all-rounder Amelia Kerr, while Gujarat Giants also shelled out big money to buy New Zealand all-rounder Sophie Devine and India pacer Renuka Singh Thakur. In a surprise outcome, Australia skipper Alyssa Healy went unsold at the auction, though theres a hope that she could be back in the accelerated round. The auction began with Alyssas name being called out for a base price of Rs 50 lakh, but found no takers. For Sophie, who missed the 2025 season due to a mental health break following New Zealands T20 World Cup win, GG opened the bidding at Rs 50 lakh, sparking a tussle with her former team Royal Challengers Bengaluru that quickly pushed the price past Rs 90 lakh. Delhi Capitals entered late at Rs 1.1 crore, but GG and RCB kept raising the stakes, with the former eventually outlasting all challengers to secure Sophies services for Rs 2 crore. Deepti, the Player of the Tournament in the recent ODI World Cup win who also captained UPW in Alyssas absence last season, drew immediate interest when Delhi Capitals opened the bidding at Rs 50 lakh and pushed it up to Rs 3.2 crore, but UPW exercised their Right to Match card to reclaim the all-rounder. Deepti also became the second-most expensive player in WPLs history Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Smriti Madhana, who was bought for a whopping Rs. 3.40 crore by RCB during the first WPL auction in 2023. Amelia, part of two title-winning MI squads, was at the centre of a fierce bidding war between the franchise and UPW. Her price surged past Rs 90 lakh and then to 1.7 crore, before it zoomed to Rs 3 crore and was reclaimed by MI. Renuka, a member of Indias ODI World Cup-winning team, went to GG for Rs 60 lakh after a brief tussle with UPW. The evenings spotlight, however, was on Sophie, the gun left-arm spinner, as RCB and DC sparred before UPW exercised their RTM card at INR 85 lakh to reclaim her. DC then engaged in a fierce bidding war with UPW for their former captain Meg, who had led them to three finals. Her price surged past Rs 1.9 crore, before UPW sealed the deal and potentially their new captain.

WPL 2026 Auction: Anjum, Veda Feel UP Warriorz Will Go For Laura Wolvaardt

ODI World Cup: Former India captain Anjum Chopra feels that UP Warriorz will go for South African captain Laura Wolvaardt in the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 Auction on Thursday. UP Warriorz, who are rebuilding their squad after retaining only Shweta Sehrawat, have the biggest purse of Rs 14.5 crore to spend in the auction. With Laura riding high on the ODI World Cup form and guiding her side to a runners-up finish, her name will likely start a bidding war in the auction hall. UP Warriorz are clearly rebuilding their team completely. They will be searching for a new captain and strong players. Laura Wolvaardt could be their target, she was the highest run-scorer in the Women's ODI World Cup and her batting would strengthen their line-up. She might even become their captain while adding quality to their batting unit, Anjum said on JioHotstar. JioStar expert Veda Krishnamurthy praised Laura Wolvaardt's leadership and batting skills. Laura Wolvaardt performed brilliantly in the Women's ODI World Cup, leading South Africa to the final and showed great captaincy skills. She's the kind of opener who guarantees 350-plus runs every season. With UP Warriorz needing a captain while other teams have their leadership sorted, Laura would be perfect to bring stability to their team with both, her batting and leadership qualities. Anjum added that New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr will be highly sought after in this auction. Amelia Kerr will be highly sought after in this auction. With two WPL titles from the Mumbai Indians and her dual skills as a batting and bowling all-rounder, she brings great value. Her consistent performances with both bat and ball make her a strong contender to be among the most expensive players in WPL's auction. Anjum added that New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr will be highly sought after in this auction. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Teams are watching Pratika Rawal's ankle fracture recovery closely. If she's 80-85% ready by tournament start, she'll attract interest. While her T20 numbers aren't flashy, she provides solid stability at the top, allowing stroke-makers to play freely. RCB specifically need an established opener after trying multiple partners for Smriti Mandhana. Their successful Indian opening combination could work well in WPL too.

Seeking votes through financial promises inappropriate: Sharad Pawar on Ajit's remark

MUMBAI: In a swipe at Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's 'vote or no funds' remark, NCP (SP) head Sharad Pawar on Thursday said it was inappropriate to seek votes based on financial assurances. Speaking to reporters at Baramati in Pune district, Sharad Pawar also said the aid provided by the state government to farmers for losses due to rains and floods is not sufficient. Ajit Pawar, who heads the rival NCP, last week told voters at Malegaon in Baramati tehsil of Pune district that he will ensure there is no shortage of funds for the town if they elected the candidates of his party, but if they rejected them, he will also eject. Elections to various local bodies in the state are set to be held on December 2. Responding to the debate over who controls the state treasury following the deputy CM's comments, Sharad Pawar said there is a competition going on about how much funds to be given. Instead of seeking votes on the basis of work done, the votes are sought based on financial assurances. This thing is not appropriate. If there is only one goal to win the elections by bringing financial aspects, then what is the need to comment on such things, the senior Pawar said. On the financial aid to farmers who suffered losses due to heavy rains in some parts of the state recently, the NCP (SP) chief said there was a need to provide adequate help to cultivators who suffered damages. The state has taken a decision to stop the recovery of loans taken by farmers for one year. The measure will help the farmers temporarily, but not in the long term. Looking at the losses farmers suffered, the state should have provided partial financial aid to the farmers. This could have helped farmers adequately, he opined.

He arrives in Mumbai to present Natuzzi Italias latest design explorations - a convergence of material research, crafted form and the evolving meaning of home. Pasquale Junior Natuzzi brings Natuzzi Italias global design narrative to Mumbai Under his direction, Natuzzi Italia has expanded beyond furniture into a wider vision of living, where space, emotion and cultural memory come together. His approach deepens the brands dialogue with architects, designers and design-led audiences, introducing new proposals from the 2025 Collection Rooted in Harmony. The pieces reflect the brands ongoing research into heritage, spatial behaviour and contemporary living, offering a perspective shaped by place and global exchange. As part of the ongoing dialogue with the design community, Pasquale Junior Natuzzi will join the Design Mumbai Exchange programme alongside international architects and designers, speaking on the role of design in shaping cultural and spatial futures, where Natuzzi Italia will also be presenting its showcase from November 26-29 in Mumbai. Showcase Highlights : AMAMA - Designed by Andrea Steidl Following the success of the multi-award-winning Mirai, Andrea Steidl returns to collaborate with Natuzzi Italia with Amama, a modular island system that reinterprets conviviality and spatial versatility. The design offers dual-facing configurations and multifunctional components such as shelves, table elements and storage, opening new possibilities for zoning and flexible living. The collection includes a dining table and a sideboard built around the same architectural and structural approach. FIORE - Designed by Marcantonio In the fourth collaboration with Marcantonio, Natuzzi Italia presents Fiore, an armchair inspired by the structural language of nature. The design studies the movement and geometry of petals, translating them into a sculptural form that holds space while remaining functional within contemporary interiors. RADICE - Rug by Giuseppe Gioia Completing the living environment is Radice, a rug designed by Giuseppe Gioia from the Natuzzi Design Center. The piece draws from the symbolic root of the 2025 collection, expressed through a distinctive shape and an intertwined circular motif designed to anchor and visually connect the surrounding furniture. Together, the three projects reflect a new chapter for Natuzzi Italia: the intersection of cultural memory, material experimentation, spatial design and collaboration with global design voices. Visit Natuzzi Italia at Design Mumbai from November 26-29 at Jio World Garden, Mumbai. Instagram - www.instagram.com/natuzziitaliamumbai Website - www.natuzzi.com/in/en

BJP seeks to expand footprint in Maharashtra local polls, looks to edge out rivals and allies

MUMBAI: After securing a majority in the recent Assembly elections, the BJP is looking to consolidate its dominance in Maharashtra by winning as many seats as possible in the upcoming local body polls. Elections to 42 Nagar Panchayats and 246 Nagar Parishads will be held on December 2, with counting on December 3. Even before the results are out, the BJP has begun projecting early gains. Maharashtra BJP president Ravindra Chavan claimed that 100 party councillors have already been elected unopposed, including 41 from western Maharashtra, 49 from North Maharashtra and the rest from the Konkan and Marathwada regions. He also said several BJP-backed presidents of Nagar Parishads and Nagar Panchayats have been elected unopposed. A political observer said the BJP is treating the local body polls as a crucial step to reinforce its dominance in Maharashtra. The party wants to win as many councillor and president posts in Nagar Panchayats and Nagar Parishads as possible to consolidate its hold at the grassroots, the observer noted. These elections, he said, give the BJP an opportunity to expand its organisational base in regions where it has traditionally been weak and to chart a roadmap for the 2029 Assembly polls. Emerging as the single largest force in local bodies would also send a message to its alliance partners to accept the BJPs big brother role by ceding political space. The BJP is not just eyeing the Opposition space; it is also seeking to grow at the expense of its own allies, he added. Maharashtra Congress president Harshvardhan Patil, however, accused the BJP of using pressure tactics. He alleged that while the BJP often invokes jungle raj in Bihar, it is using the same playbook in Maharashtra to threaten people and steal the mandate.

10.64 per cent of Mumbai voters have duplicate entries: SEC data

MUMBAI: Nearly 10.64 per cent or more than 11 lakh of Mumbai's 1.03 crore electorate have duplicate enrolments in the electoral roll, as per data shared by the Maharashtra State Election Commission (SEC). The data shows that a majority of wards with the highest number of duplicate voters were previously represented by Opposition corporators. The SEC on Wednesday extended the deadline for submitting objections from November 27 to December 3. The final voters' list will be published on December 10, according to a statement issued by the SEC. The data shows that 4.33 lakh voters appear more than once in the draft voters' list published last week, with multiple entries ranging from two to as many as 103 times. This has pushed the total number of duplicate enrolments to 11,01,505. The SEC has attributed the repetition of names to factors such as printing errors, voters' relocation, and failure to remove the names of deceased persons. Booth-level workers will now conduct field visits, fill forms, and obtain verification undertakings to ensure each voter is listed only once, officials said. An SEC official indicated that Mumbai's civic elections, slated to be completed by January 31, 2026, as per a Supreme Court directive, may see a slight delay. Depending on the pace of corrections by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the polls could either be held by the end of January or the SEC may seek an extension to the first week of February, he added. The SEC data further shows that four of the five wards with the highest number of duplicate voters were previously represented by Opposition corporators from parties such as Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Nationalist Congress Party (SP). Two of these wards fall under the Worli assembly constituency, represented by Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray. Opposition leaders have alleged irregularities in the ongoing revision of the voters' list. In a post on X, Aaditya Thackeray has claimed there were millions of repeated names, fraudulent household entries, and voter cards lacking basic details. Our expos on the corrupt practices of the election commission and the vote fraud in millions has led the the election commission giving us a week more to further find the vote chori. Our exercise is not to only speak about it or only expose it, we expect corrective action on Aaditya Thackeray (@AUThackeray) November 26, 2025 He warned that refusing to extend the suggestion and objection period would raise doubts about the fairness of the election process. Worli's ward no.199, earlier represented by former mayor and Sena (UBT) leader Kishori Pednekar, has the highest number of duplicate voters at 8,207. It is followed by Ghatkopar's ward no.131 with 7,741 duplicate entries, Parel-Lalbaug's ward 203 with 7,624, Kalachowki's ward 205 with 7,585, and Century Mill's ward 194 with 7,584 duplicate voters, as per the SEC data. Civic officials, meanwhile, said a drive to delete duplicate names is currently underway. A senior BMC official clarified that the figure of 11 lakh refers to the number of repeated entries and not individual persons, adding that the municipal corporation is conducting door-to-door checks to cleanse the rolls. All 25 assistant municipal commissioners have been designated as nodal officers for the rectification exercise, which will run from November 27 to December 5. The final voters' list is expected to be published thereafter.

Passengers fume as Indigo flights face long delays, airline cites 'operational reasons'

NEW DELHI: Indigo flights across the country suffered extensive delays from Wednesday evening into the night, with the airline repeatedly citing operational reasons. While Indigo also mentioned air-traffic congestion at Mumbai and Delhi, officials at Delhi airport completely denied any such congestion. Passengers, meanwhile, alleged that the non-availability of pilots for certain flights was among the key causes. Multiple attempts to obtain an official response from Indigo yielded no result. However, the airlines official handle on X kept replying to passengers that every delay was due to operational reasons. The worst affected routes included the DelhiChandigarh sector, where flights were delayed in both directions. Deepak Dhiman, a passenger, posted, Indigo flight 6E 2195 from Chandigarh to Delhi is delayed by 6 hours. Pilot is not available to fire the engine. Passengers are forced to wait for the pilot. No one knows when this flight will take off. An hour later, he updated that the pilot had arrived and the plane was being refuelled. Rajeev Chawla, another irate passenger, questioned the airline, Do you have a sense of responsibility? Flight from Delhi to Chandigarh (6E 2196) was to depart at 2.55 pm. Now it will depart at 8 pm. Is it fair to harass customers for a 45-min flight for five hours? Passenger Anandika Khajuria appealed to the aviation regulator DGCA and the Civil Aviation Minister to look into what operational issues were causing such lengthy delays. Although Indigo attributed the delays to congestion at Delhis Indira Gandhi International Airport, multiple airport sources, including the official spokesperson, denied any such congestion. In the south, the Bengaluru to Coimbatore service (6E 914) departed at 8.20 pm instead of 4.45 pm. Passenger Mayank Jha posted, Flight 6E 914 was supposed to take off at 4.45 pm. Delayed to 7.15 pm and delayed further because the First Officer hasnt even arrived. Who is accountable for this level of mismanagement? The Chennai to Jaipur flight (6E 6381), scheduled to depart at 8.50 pm, was postponed repeatedly before finally being rescheduled to 1 am on 27 November. Flyer Vijay Mathur listed four different delay announcements: from 8.50 pm to 9.20 pm; then to 10.50 pm; then to 12.50 am; and finally to 1 am. The Chandigarh to Mumbai flight (6E 5019) was delayed by nearly seven hours. Scheduled to take off at 3.55 pm, it was eventually slated for departure at 10.45 pm. Passenger Apurva Parekh wrote, Delays of 6 hours and no clarity. These guys have no clue how to handle passengers. Very bad customer service and support. Indigo responded that the delay was due to operational reasons and said the team was doing its best to get the aircraft airborne. Another flyer on the same service, Kumar Gaurav, demanded clarity on the delay. The Mumbai to Bengaluru flight (6E 5074) was delayed thrice, contributing to nearly two hours of waiting time. The delay was attributed to the late arrival of the incoming aircraft (6E 5073). Passenger Pramod Modi posted, 6E 5073 delayed by almost three hours but still such poor gate management that no one in ground staff is able to decide the boarding gate Indigo did not issue any official statement on the disruptions. One user even defended the airline, arguing that the delayed flights formed only a small portion of its total operations. A day earlier, on Tuesday, more than 100 passengers on the Pune to Delhi flight (6E 2285) were delayed by over three hours after one of the pilots refused to fly, stating his duty hours had ended, according to reports from Pune. Violation of Flight Duty Time Limitations is taken seriously by the aviation regulator. If you want, I can also polish the headline further or give 23 alternate options.
