She said, "I switched off the TV when my name came up in the WPL Auction. I switched off my phone for 15 minutes as well. I got a call from my brother after I switched on my phone and he told me that I was picked up by Delhi Capitals. I didn't believe him, but then I spoke with my parents and they were very excited.
