Gujarat Giants will be hoping for a fresh start heading into the Women's Premier League's first mega auction. Giants did not have the best of WPL cycles, failing to reach the final in either of the editions. The franchise have retained Australian duo of Beth Mooney and Ashleigh Gardner, both who have led the franchise in the past.

Gardner's finishing and all-round skills make her an invaluable asset. Beth Mooney dovetails as a wicketkeeper and an opening batter. Giants will eye to add more Indian talent to their ranks, with eyes on India's Women's World Cup winners. As many as 10 of India's WC squad are in the auction pool.

They made the eliminator last year, but will hope to improve on the same with the mega auction. They will have 3 RTMs, with the likes of Phoebe Litchfield and Laura Wolvaardt likely targets.
