‘Bhaya Please!’ – Amelia Kerr’s Mumbai Adventure in WPL 2025
Amelia Kerr’s Auto-Rickshaw Moment Wins Hearts Amid WPL 2025
The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 is unfolding in thrilling fashion, with Mumbai Indians (MI) making their presence felt in the high-energy tournament. With nail-biting finishes, packed stadiums, and record-breaking player bids, this season has been a spectacle for cricket enthusiasts.
MI may have faced an early setback against Delhi Capitals, but their resilience has seen them bounce back with two crucial wins. Their star all-rounder, Amelia Kerr, has been pivotal with the ball. However, it’s not just her on-field heroics grabbing attention—her recent attempt to hail an auto-rickshaw in Mumbai has charmed fans worldwide!
Amelia Kerr’s Struggle to Catch an Auto in Mumbai
A Lighthearted Video Goes Viral
The Mumbai Indians’ social media team recently shared an entertaining clip featuring Amelia Kerr navigating the bustling streets of Mumbai. The video captures the New Zealand cricketer alongside popular actress and influencer Mithila Palkar, who acts as her local guide in the art of hailing an auto.
Dressed in MI’s iconic blue jersey, Kerr initially tries to wave down an auto-rickshaw in a polite manner, only to be ignored by passing drivers. Witnessing her struggle, Palkar humorously remarks, “Itna bhi easy nahi hota hai” (It’s not that easy!).
Taking Palkar’s advice, Kerr ditches the polite wave and fully embraces Mumbai’s street-smart culture. In a moment of pure local adaptation, she shouts, “Dada! Majhi match aahe…” (Brother, I have a match… please stop!), prompting an auto to screech to a halt. Kerr’s triumphant expression as she finally secures a ride has fans buzzing on social media.
The Internet Reacts
The heartwarming video has garnered massive traction online, with cricket fans and Mumbaikars celebrating Kerr’s efforts to immerse herself in the city’s fast-paced lifestyle. The fun-filled moment has further solidified the connection between Mumbai Indians’ international stars and their local fanbase.
Kerr’s WPL 2025 Performance So Far
While her newfound street-savvy skills are a delight, Amelia Kerr’s true prowess shines on the cricket field. The 24-year-old New Zealander has been a force in T20 cricket since her teenage years and was one of the most sought-after players in the WPL 2025 auction. Mumbai Indians secured her services for INR 1 crore, recognizing her game-changing abilities.
Impressive Bowling Figures
Kerr has been instrumental for MI with the ball, delivering stellar performances in crucial matches. Her figures include:
-
2/22 vs Gujarat Giants – A crucial spell that helped MI seize a thrilling win.
-
2/21 vs Delhi Capitals – A disciplined performance despite MI’s loss.
With four wickets in three matches and an economy rate of 5.92, Kerr has emerged as a go-to bowler in high-pressure situations. Her ability to stifle the run flow makes her a key asset for Mumbai Indians.
Batting Potential Yet to Be Unleashed
While Kerr is yet to make a significant impact with the bat in WPL 2025, her track record as a middle-order stabilizer suggests she could be a crucial asset in upcoming matches. With MI aiming for a top-four finish, her ability to contribute with the bat could be a game-changer in later stages of the tournament.
What’s Next for Amelia Kerr and MI?
As WPL 2025 progresses, Mumbai Indians will look to build on their winning momentum. With a well-balanced squad featuring top international and domestic talent, MI remains one of the strongest contenders for the championship. Fans will be eager to see if Kerr can extend her impact, both on and off the field!
