After signing Nazma Khan at the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 mini-auction, the Delhi Capitals posted a touching moment on social media. The cricket player’s old message to Indian batsman Jemimah Rodrigues was shared by the team. Nazma had stated that she hoped to one day share the field with her idol.
Delhi Capitals shared a heartwarming moment on social media after signing Nazma Khan
Since Nazma’s signing has brought her closer to the goal she and Jemimah discussed, that message, which was sent approximately a year ago, has taken on new significance. In response to the conversation, the Indian batsman welcomed the new member of the Delhi Capitals team on Instagram.
Nazma’s message focused on playing alongside Jemimah and being a member of a winning team. In order to share the moment of her dream coming true, she had also hoped that the Indian batter would eventually receive the message.
When Jemimah opened Instagram to text Nazma a year later, she saw the message. In her story, she posted the screenshot. I discovered a message from Nazma from a year ago when I opened Instagram to text her just now. After a year, the manifestation is genuine. ✨ 💙❤️ Welcome to the family.
The Delhi Capitals commemorated the occasion by emphasizing the value of perseverance and faith. “Remind yourself that manifestation is effective. Continue trying. Never give up on your faith. In the end, everything will work out, the franchise wrote.
The Delhi Capitals strengthened their roster by purchasing four players at the WPL 2027 mini-auction. Kiran Navgire was signed by the franchise for ₹75 lakh, while Kashvi Kandikuppa, Nazma Khan, and Scotland’s Kirstie Gordon were signed for ₹10 lakh each.
The Indian additions further strengthen the team ahead of the forthcoming season, and Gordon’s addition gives the team another overseas spin option.
Nazma Khan sees the signing as more than just securing a WPL spot. She had previously messaged Jemimah about wanting to compete against the India international in the field, and now she will have the opportunity to join the same team.
Nazma Khan’s journey serves as a reminder of how dreams can eventually become opportunities in professional cricket, and the exchange has allowed fans to see the personal stories behind signings on auction day.
