Born on March 24, 1999, Minnu Mani is a well-known all-rounder from the state of Kerala. She has also played for India A in the domestic circuit. The 23-year-old is a left-handed batter and a right-arm off-spinner and has been an integral part of the Kerala Women's team. The southpaw was the top run-getter in the recently concluded Women's All-India One-Day Tournament, scoring 246 runs from eight matches. In addition, she also claimed 12 wickets, proving her worth as an all-rounder. In a historic moment for Kerala cricket, the 23-year-old became the first female cricketer from the state to be selected for the Women's Premier League (WPL). During the competition’s auction in February, the Delhi Capitals (DC) made a successful bid of INR 30 lakh for the talented all-rounder. The selection in the prestigious tournament is a testament to Minnu's hard work, perseverance, and unwavering spirit. In the 2021 Women's Senior One-Day Trophy, the all-rounder helped her team win against Punjab Women with a score of 72 runs. Additionally, her 4-for against Delhi Women is the best bowling figure in the tournament. (As of February 2023)
