 * Shweta Sehrawat (Opener)

 * Phoebe Litchfield ✈️ (Wicketkeeper / Top-order)

 * Kiran Navgire (Middle-order / Power-hitter)

 * Harleen Deol (Middle-order)

 * Deandra Dottin ✈️ (Finisher / Medium-pace)

 * Asha Sobhana (Leg-spin)

 * Kranti Gaud / Simran Shaikh (Utility Player)

Key Strengths & Tactics ---

 * The Lanning Factor: Bringing in a 7-time World Cup winner as captain is a massive upgrade. She is expected to open the batting and provide the "tactical calmness" the team lacked last season.

 * The Spin Triumvirate: UPW arguably has the best spin attack in the world with Sophie Ecclestone (World No. 1), Deepti Sharma, and Asha Sobhana. On Indian tracks, they will be nearly impossible to score against in the middle overs.

 * Wicketkeeping Puzzle: With Alyssa Healy out, Phoebe Litchfield or the domestic specialist Shipra Giri will take the gloves. If Litchfield keeps, it allows them to fit more domestic bowling talent into the XI.

 * Record Signing: Deepti Sharma was reclaimed via RTM for ₹3.2 Crore, making her the backbone of this team’s local core alongside veteran Shikha Pandey.
