Team overview
Gujarat Giants at a glance
Gujarat Giants are the Ahmedabad-based Women's Premier League franchise owned by Adani Sportsline. They have competed in every WPL season since the league began in 2023 and are part of the wider Gujarat Giants multi-sport identity.
The Giants produced their best league-stage finish in 2026: second with five wins, three losses, ten points and a -0.168 net run rate. Their first-ever win over Mumbai Indians secured a second successive playoff appearance, but Delhi Capitals won the Eliminator by seven wickets.
Beth Mooney led the team with 258 runs, while captain Ashleigh Gardner scored 244 and Sophie Devine 243. Devine was the leading all-round contributor and top wicket-taker with 17 wickets; Rajeshwari Gayakwad followed with 11.
The WPL side is distinct from Adani Sportsline's Gujarat Giants teams in Pro Kabaddi and Ultimate Kho Kho, and from Gulf Giants in the UAE's ILT20. Their squads, schedules and records are not combined on this page.
