Aakash Tigers
Icon Player: Humaira Kazi
The Tigers made the biggest statement of auction day.
They paid the highest price of the day for Ira Jadhav, a teenager with serious power at the crease.
It is a big call. It is also the kind of call that wins tournaments if it comes off.
Humaira Kazi as an icon gives them a calm head at the top.
The rest of the squad is a mix of youth and players who know how to compete when the pressure is on.

SoBo Mumbai Falcons
Icon Player: Sayali Satghare
The Falcons were not interested in making noise at the auction. They were interested in winning matches.
Sayali Satghare, as an icon, sets the tone: experienced, reliable, and deeply familiar with conditions in Mumbai.
Riya Chaudhari and Simran Shaikh were the notable buys. Both are known performers.
Both fit the Falcons’ approach of building a squad that does not have a weak link, rather than one that has two or three stars and nothing behind them.

| 1 | Sayali Satghare | Batter / WK | ICON |

Thane Sky Risers
Icon Player: Saima Thakor
Thane came to the auction with a simple idea: bowl teams out.
Saima Thakor, as an icon, gives them a frontline bowler who can take wickets at any stage.
Vrushali Bhagat adds the all-round flexibility that every good T20 side needs.
This squad is built to be uncomfortable to face.
Powerplay wickets, pressure in the middle overs, and the ability to flip a game in two overs. That is the Sky Risers’ plan.
| # | Player Name | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Saima Thakor | Bowler | ICON |

All Three Teams at a Glance
| Team | Icon Player | Standout Pick | Playing Style |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aakash Tigers | Humaira Kazi | Ira Jadhav | Young, attacking, high ceiling |
| SoBo Mumbai Falcons | Sayali Satghare | Riya Chaudhari, Simran Shaikh | Consistent, hard to beat |
| Thane Sky Risers | Saima Thakor | Vrushali Bhagat | Bowling-first, aggressive |
Three Players to Watch
- Ira Jadhav (Aakash Tigers) — The auction’s most expensive pick. She will carry high expectations from ball one. How she handles that will be one of the tournament’s early storylines.
- Sayali Satghare (SoBo Mumbai Falcons) — As icon and likely captain, she sets the standard for the whole squad. If the Falcons go deep, she will be a big reason why.
- Saima Thakor (Thane Sky Risers) — The Sky Risers’ whole bowling plan is built around her. Good powerplay spells from Thakor could make Thane very difficult to score against.
What Makes This League Worth Following?
Most women’s T20 leagues in India focus on national and international talent. This one is different.
The Mumbai Women’s T20 League 2026 is built around local players, many of whom have never had a professional platform before.
The rosters reflect that. Yes, there are experienced heads like Satghare and Thakor.
But there are also teenagers, club cricketers, and players from suburban Mumbai who are getting a real shot for the first time.
That mix, youth against experience, local pride against competitive cricket, is what will make this tournament worth watching beyond just the results.
