Gujarat Giants

Gujarat Giants will be seeking a fresh start in Pro Kabaddi League 2025 (PKL 2025) after their poor campaign last season. With just five wins from 22 games, Gujarat Giants had finished the last season of PKL at the 11th spot.

They struggled throughout the competition and hardly looked in contention 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.

Gujarat Giants Squad:

Gujarat Giants had a busy outing in the two-day auction as they signed up 13 players while spending INR 4.967 crore. The Giants have assembled a strong squad and will look to do well this season.
