WPL 2026’s viral presenter taking sports broadcasting by storm
January 16, 2026: The opening of the 2026 Women’s Premier League has unexpectedly spotlighted Yesha Sagar, a presenter who has quickly gone viral and become a talking point among cricket fans. Within hours of the tournament’s kickoff, social media users began searching for details about the “mystery anchor” whose confident on-screen presence and polished delivery stood out from the sidelines, making her one of the breakout faces of WPL 2026.
Born on December 14, 1996, in Ludhiana, Punjab, Yesha Sagar moved to Toronto, Canada, in 2015 to pursue higher education and graduated from Seneca College. Before entering sports broadcasting, she built a strong profile as a model and actress in the Punjabi music industry, featuring in popular videos by artists such as Gippy Grewal, Parmish Verma and Kulbir Jhinjer. Her appearance in Chirri Udd Kaa Udd, which crossed 50 million views, played a key role in establishing her visibility in North Indian pop culture.
Though many viewers are discovering her through WPL 2026, Yesha is no stranger to sports coverage. She previously hosted the Global T20 Canada, earning praise for her on-camera confidence and presentation skills. A fitness enthusiast with over one million Instagram followers, she also collaborates with global wellness brands. As the WPL season progresses, Yesha Sagar is emerging as a symbol of a new generation of Indian-origin broadcasters blending entertainment, fitness and professional sports media on an international stage.
