That same season, she became the first player to cross 1,000 career WPL runs.
Shreyanka Patil is the only player to win both the Purple Cap and the Emerging Player award in the same WPL season, in 2024.

Prize money has remained fixed across all four editions — ₹6 crore to the winners, ₹3 crore to the runners-up, ₹5 lakh per individual award, and ₹2.5 lakh for the Player of the Match in the final.
How WPL Prize Money Compares
The WPL winner’s prize of ₹6 crore sits well below the IPL’s ₹20 crore winner’s purse but substantially above comparable women’s franchise competitions globally. The Women’s Big Bash League in Australia does not operate a comparable franchise prize pool structure.The financial base of the WPL rests on the BCCI’s five-year media rights deal struck in 2023 with Viacom18 for ₹951 crore. Following the merger of Viacom18 and Disney Star in 2025, the tournament’s broadcast home became Star Sports and JioHotstar.
Each franchise was allocated a salary purse of ₹12 crore at the tournament’s launch, increasing by ₹1.5 crore per season — meaning by 2026, teams had ₹16.5 crore to spend on player contracts. Prize money supplements franchise revenues from sponsorship, ticketing, and merchandise, but the media rights deal remains the league’s primary income stream.
