WPL changed everything for women’s cricket in India when it kicked off back in 2023. Nobody expected it would become this huge but here we are now. Three seasons down and we’ve seen some absolutely brilliant batting displays already.
Top 5 Highest Scorer of Women’s Premier League
| Players | Innings | Runs |
| Nat Sciver-Brunt | 29 | 1027 |
| Ellyse Perry | 25 | 972 |
| Meg Lanning | 27 | 952 |
| Shafali Verma | 27 | 865 |
| Harmanpreet Kaur | 27 | 851 |
Nat Sciver-Brunt Leads Most Runs in Women’s Premier League
Nat Sciver-Brunt owns the most runs in WPL with 1027 runs after playing 29 games. She plays for the Mumbai Indians and just destroys bowling attacks whenever she walks out. Her 46.68 average tells you she rarely throws away her wicket cheaply.
That 80* she scored last season won Mumbai a game they were losing. Sciver-Brunt bats at number three and finishes off tight chases like it’s nothing. Mumbai spent a huge amount on her, but she’s worth every single rupee paid.
Ellyse Perry trails by just 55 runs with 972 total so far. This Australian great averages 64.80, which sounds fake for T20 cricket but it’s real. Perry bats for Royal Challengers Bangalore and basically carries their whole batting order sometimes.
Other Stars Among Most Runs
Meg Lanning scored 952 runs before she retired from international cricket. The former Australian captain knew exactly when to attack and when to defend. Delhi Capitals won the first WPL title mainly because Lanning scored runs consistently.
Shafali Verma has blasted 865 runs so far playing aggressive cricket. The young Indian opener hits sixes like she’s playing gully cricket back home. Delhi Capitals depend on her explosive starts at the top order badly.
Harmanpreet Kaur rounds off the top five with 851 runs for Mumbai. The Indian captain uses her experience to guide younger players around her. Harmanpreet’s power-hitting in the middle overs changes games completely within a few deliveries.
Why These Numbers Matter for the League
Getting heavy runs in WPL proves you can handle pressure consistently here. These five batters have faced the best bowlers from different countries already. Their records show that women’s cricket keeps growing stronger each passing year.
Younger Indian players learn so much watching these stars perform live. WPL gives them chances to bat alongside legends they only saw on TV before. This tournament has changed Indian women’s cricket forever in just two seasons.
