Amanjot Kaur

Amanjot Kaur is a powerhouse seam-bowling all-rounder whose rise has mirrored the rapid growth of Indian women’s cricket. Born on January 1, 2000, in Mohali, she famously balanced her early training with the support of her father, a carpenter, to become one of the most reliable 'clutch' players in the country. Her 2025 season was a landmark year of double glory; she was named the WPL 2025 Emerging Player of the Season for her role in Mumbai Indians' second title win and played a massive part in India’s maiden ICC Women’s ODI World Cup victory. Her World Cup campaign was defined by her tactical intelligence—scoring a steady 57 against Sri Lanka to stabilize the order and taking the 'catch of the century' to dismiss Laura Wolvaardt in the final, a moment widely credited with swinging the trophy India's way.

Her immense value as a domestic all-rounder was recognized during the 2026 Women’s Premier League mega auction preparations in late 2025. The Mumbai Indians made her one of their top five retentions, securing her for ₹1 crore. This move highlights her evolution from a 'bits-and-pieces' player to an indispensable middle-order finisher and a partnership-breaking medium pacer. Within the 'One Family' setup, Amanjot is now viewed as a senior Indian figure alongside Harmanpreet Kaur, tasked with bridging the gap between the powerplay and the death overs. As she enters the 2026 season in January, the Chandigarh-born star carries the momentum of being both a WPL and a World Cup champion, ready to anchor Mumbai's hunt for a third title.
