Their first major acquisition was Deandra Dottin, who was bought for Rs 1.70 crore. The seasoned all-rounder is expected to bring both batting firepower and crucial bowling options to the team. They also secured Simran Shaikh, a promising batter, for Rs 1.90 crore, making her the most expensive pick for Gujarat Giants. Shaikh's explosive batting could play a pivotal role in bolstering their top order.
Gujarat's updated squad now includes both retained and new faces. Retained players like Ashleigh Gardner, Harleen Deol, and Tanuja Kanwar provide a solid foundation, while the new signings add depth and potential. With a well-balanced squad, Gujarat Giants are aiming to bounce back in WPL 2025 and make a mark after their disappointing performance in the inaugural season.
