Sajeevan Sajana

Sajeevan Sajana is a powerful all-rounder from Kerala whose career is defined by 'miracle' moments and a fearless approach to the game. Born on January 4, 1995, in Wayanad, she rose from humble beginnings as the daughter of an auto-rickshaw driver to become a national icon. She achieved instant stardom in 2024 by hitting a last-ball six on her WPL debut to win the game for the Mumbai Indians, a feat that earned her the nickname 'the Kieron Pollard of MI' and a maiden India call-up. Her 2025 season was a continuation of this high-impact form; she was an essential 'finisher' for Mumbai during their second title-winning campaign in March and later starred for South Zone in the Senior Women's Inter-Zonal T20, notably smashing a 15-ball 31* against North East Zone.

In the late 2025 WPL mega auction, Sajana’s value skyrocketed as franchises vied for her rare ability to strike at over 150. After a spirited bidding war with the UP Warriorz, the Mumbai Indians re-secured her services for ₹75 lakh—five times her original price. Her return to the 'Blue and Gold' was one of the most celebrated homecomings of the auction, as the franchise prioritized her clean hitting and 'Best Catch of the Season' winning athleticism. Entering the 2026 season as a seasoned international and a back-to-back WPL champion, Sajana remains the heartbeat of Mumbai’s lower order. As she prepares for the new season starting in January, her journey from the paddy fields of Wayanad to becoming one of Kerala's most expensive WPL stars continues to inspire millions.
