After a forgettable campaign last season, Gujarat Giants will be desperate to turn things around in the upcoming season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 2025).
They struggled throughout the competition last year and managed to win only five of their 22 league games. As a result, they finished at the 11th spot in the 12-team competition and failed to qualify for the playoffs. After the disappointing campaign, they also decided to part ways with their head coach Ram Mehar Singh.
The Gujarat-based outfit has roped in Jaivir Sharma as their new head coach and Varinder Singh Sandhu as assistant coach for the upcoming season. The Giants will be hoping that a change in the coaching staff will change their fortunes as well.
