Gujarat Giants Women have strengthened their squad ahead of the WPL 2026 Mega Auction, held on 27 November in New Delhi. With 277 players up for bidding, teams competed to build balanced and competitive squads for the upcoming season.
After reaching the Eliminator in WPL 2025, Gujarat Giants narrowly missed out on the title, losing to Mumbai Indians. This season, they aim to go one step further with a strong mix of experienced internationals and talented domestic players.
