Poonam Yadav was bought at her base price of INR 30 lakh by the Delhi Capitals in the first-ever WPL auction. The wily leg-spinner forms a potent force in their spin cabinet. Poonam's biggest weapons are her flight and googly. She is a deceptive bowler who could run through the opposition batting order on any given day. She is an experienced campaigner, having played over 100 international matches for India. She's been a part of India's three T20 World Cup campaigns. The Uttar Pradesh-born spinner finished as the second-highest wicket-taker in the 2020 edition of the T20 World Cup with 10 wickets from five matches. She's been a part of two 50-over World Cup's as well (2017, 2021).
