So this time, it’s not Richard Madley or Hugh Edmeades or Charu Sharma. So everyone, say hello to the WPL auctioneer, Mallika Sagar. So like everyone else, if you’re wondering who is Mallika Sagar, let us tell you that she has a 25-year career in art auctioning and she recently moved into sports as well, so the experience will certainly be on display.

It’s not the first time that Mallika Sagar will be doing a major sporting event as she was also the auctioneer for the Pro Kabaddi League auction in 2021.
