The inaugural champions, Mumbai Indians, also made significant moves. They began by signing South African all-rounder Nadine de Klerk for Rs 30 lakh, before going big with the Rs 1.60 crore signing of Indian uncapped batter G Kamalini.

Delhi Capitals made two budget-friendly buys, acquiring uncapped players Nandini Kashyap for Rs 10 lakh and N. Charani for Rs 55 lakh.

The defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), made headlines with their only signing of the day so far, securing Prema Rawat for Rs 1.20 crore.

In the second round, UP Warriorz added two players to their squad, signing Arushi Goel and Kranti Goud, both for Rs 10 lakh each. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians, RCB, and Delhi Capitals each secured one player in the same round.
