Chloe Tryon

Chloe Tryon is a legendary South African power-hitter and left-arm spinner who remains one of the most formidable all-rounders in the international game. Born on January 25, 1994, in Durban, she famously began her career by taking a wicket with her very first ball in T20I cricket back in 2010. Known for her 'KoKo' nickname and her ability to clear any boundary in the world, Tryon's 2025 season was a showcase of peak all-round brilliance. She was instrumental in South Africa’s historic run to the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup final, where she was honored as the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for May after a sensational hat-trick and a five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka. She capped off the year as the Proteas' crisis-manager, notably hitting a match-winning 62 against Bangladesh to rescue her team from a mid-innings collapse.

In the franchise arena, Tryon’s 2025 campaign with the Mumbai Indians saw her lift her second WPL title in three years, proving to be a vital 'finisher' and a strategic spin option for Harmanpreet Kaur. However, the 2026 Women’s Premier League mega auction in late 2025 brought a change of scenery. In a move to bolster their middle-order aggression, the UP Warriorz secured her services for ₹30 lakh. Joining a squad that now features powerhouses like Deandra Dottin and Meg Lanning, Tryon is expected to play a dual role: providing explosive late-overs hitting and partnering with Sophie Ecclestone to create a lethal left-arm spin twin-attack. As a veteran of over 100 ODIs and T20Is, her experience and 'calm under fire' temperament make her one of the most respected overseas signings in the league.
