Ayushi Soni made WPL history on January 13, 2026, by becoming the first batter to be retired out during a Gujarat Giants match against Mumbai Indians. Soni scored 11 runs from 14 balls before being tactically retired to allow a more aggressive batter to come in. Her replacement, Bharti Fulmali, capitalized on the opportunity, scoring an unbeaten 36 off 15 balls, significantly contributing to the Giants' total of 192/5. Soni, an all-rounder from Delhi, was making her WPL debut.
