Dhara Gujjar’s professional career
The Women’s Premier League 2023 is the first Indian Women's Twenty cricket franchise. The format of the competition was adapted from the Men's Indian Premier League (IPL) for female cricket players. Mumbai Indians (MI) is one of the five teams taking part in the tournament. The WPL Mumbai Team 2023's management rights have been bought by the Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries Limited.
Dhara was honoured for being chosen for the Mumbai Indians Women Squad at the Women Premier League (WPL) 2023 inaugural auction for INR 10 Lakh. She is a B. Com (Hons) student at The Bhawanipur Education Society College in Kolkata. Dhara, a Senior Bengal Player who began playing cricket at the age of 11, served as the Bengal team's vice-captain. She made her Bengal U19 team debut in 2017 and afterwards rose to the position of captain. She was a member of the Bengal U19 squad in 2018–19, which won the women's U19 one-day competition.
She has several achievements to her name, including making the Senior team in 2019 and finishing as the senior women's one-day tournament's fourth-highest run-getter in 2021–2022. She competed for the East zone squad in the One zonal match in Hyderabad, and then the Mumbai Indians team of the IPL chose her for the season.
The Bengal cricketer excelled with the bat at the recent List A Trophy and the T20 Trophy that was contested last year. With 207 runs over nine innings at a rate of 41.40 last year, she was the Bengal's top run-scorer despite batting largely at No. 4 and No. 5. Her strike rate of 106.70 demonstrated that she was doing a fantastic job of guiding the scoreboard.
She entered at No. 3 for Bengal in the just-finished ODI Trophy and finished with 259 runs at 51.80. Bengal finished as runners-up in the T20 league last year, and Gujjar's contributions in the middle order were crucial. Gujjar recently took to social media to share her practice update with her fans. We wish her all the best for the tournament.
