New Zealand’s young all-rounder Amelia Kerr is presently making waves in the cricketing world. She set a new ODI record for the highest-ever individual score by a woman in one day internationals when she blazed 232 off 145 balls* against Ireland in Dublin at the tender age of just 17 in 2018, which surpassed the long-held record by Belinda Clarke. With this phenomenal performance, Kerr also became the youngest international cricketer—across both men’s and women’s formats—to score a double century in ODIs.

She received central contracts with the New Zealand women’s national team in 2018 due to her marvellous prowess and has since then been an integral part of the side. Given her outstanding skills as an all-rounder, it was no surprise that franchises in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) showed strong interest in her.

WPL Contract and Auction Battle

Ahead of the inaugural WPL season, Amelia Kerr was highly sought after at the auction. After an intense bidding war between Mumbai Indians Women and Royal Challengers Bangalore, she was signed by Mumbai Indians for INR 1 Crore.

Amelia Kerr’s Relationship Status

After just 22 years of living, Amelia Kerr has her personal life kept under such tight wraps that she has not even issued an official statement about her relationship status. However, rumors have circulated regarding two guys.

The first assumption was after Amelia posted a picture on Ruben Love’s birthday. Ruben Love is an up-and-coming New Zealand rugby union player who made his debut with Wellington back in September of the year 2020. With the reputation he has gained in the game, one would think that he is going to have a bright future in the sport.

The last interaction on social media between Amelia and Nathan Smith, a 24-year-old cricketer with Wellington, is enough to think the two are dating. The duo is also observed to comment on each other’s posts regularly and affectionately, fueling further speculation, though neither of them has gone on record as confirming their romance.
