Gujarat Giants Key Players

Beth Mooney: The world cup-winning senior Australia wicketkeeper-batter has been one of the best batters in the business for her exploits. The explosive left-handed batter has been in prime form with the bat. She must be fresh from her batting exploits in the just-concluded ICC T20 Women's World Cup 2023 and slammed back-to-back match-winning half-centuries in the semi-final and the final. Her experience of playing on Indian pitches will bode the team well.

Ashleigh Gardner: The stylish Australian all-rounder was the player of the tournament in the just-concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2023 for her performances. Gardner - who also happens to be the most expensive overseas player in the WPL 2023 Auction - will be one of the most sought-after players in the competition.

Sneh Rana: The rising India all-rounder has been doing well on the international stage. She might be only 25-T20Is old but her experience of playing well.
