5 Players GG W Must Target in the WPL 2026 Mega Auction

A few days ago, at the WPL 2026 retention, Gujarat Giants chose not to keep any of their Indian players. They only retained two Australians: Ash Gardner for 3.5 crore and Beth Mooney for 2.5 crore. This shows that GG want to build their team from scratch at the WPL 2026 auction in Delhi on November 27.

Gujarat Giants should target in WPL 2026 mega auction

Sophie Devine Allrounder

Gujarat Giants still have 9 crore left in their budget, and they are keen on bringing in New Zealand all-rounder Devine. She has been bowling really well lately and has taken 119 wickets in T20Is. She would be a great addition to the team.

Kranti Goud Allrounder

India’s latest pace sensation Gaud was release by UPW in the WPL 2026 retentions. Nonetheless, she should be on Gujarat’s radar. She showed that she can be threatening; yes she was guilty of leaking some runs in the World Cup, but could be a handy player for the side.

Renuka Singh Thakur Bowler

Renuka Singh Thakur is an Indian international cricketer.

In a surprising move, the team decided to let go of Priya Mishra and Deandra Dottin. That said, the GG management still has the option to bring them back using their RTM card when these players go up for auction in WPL 2026. As for new signings, they are likely keeping an eye on someone like Renuka Singh, the Indian fast bowler who was released by RCB. At 29, she has already taken 13 wickets this season and is known for her ability to swing the ball both ways.

Alana King All-rounder

Alana King is an Australian international cricketer who is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm leg-spin bowler.

You do need a leg-spinner in your ranks, and who better than King from Australia. She was excellent in the Women’s World Cup, and could be rewarded with a big WPL contract. And to solidify their squad, Gujarat might be tempted to look at her. Till now she has played just one WPL match.

Rajeshwari Gayakwad Bowler

One player that no one really talks about is, orthodox spinner Gayakwad. She is an India veteran, and has picked up 61 T20I wickets in her career. Not in any international reckoning, getting her in WPL 2026 auction won’t burn a hole in GG’s pockets.
