Giants Seek Blessings Ahead of New Season

As the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 approaches, the Gujarat Giants are combining their preparations with a spiritual touch. On Monday, the franchise, owned by Adani Sportsline, visited the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai to seek divine blessings for the upcoming season, which is set to kick off on January 9 in Navi Mumbai.

Team Members Join the Temple Visit

Head coach Michael Klinger, along with bowling coach Pravin Tambe, participated in the visit alongside players Tanuja Kanwar, Bharti Fulmali, and Ayushi Soni. They were also accompanied by Video Analyst Saurabh Walkar and Sanjay Adesara, Chief Business Officer of Adani Sportsline. This visit served as a moment of quiet reflection as the team gears up for the challenges ahead.

Focus on Preparations and Title Aspirations

Currently engaged in a pre-season camp in Mumbai, the Giants are working on refining their team combinations and establishing a rhythm in preparation for a demanding season. After reaching the WPL playoffs for the first time last year, the team aims to build early momentum and maintain it throughout the tournament.

The Gujarat Giants will kick off their WPL 2026 campaign against UP Warriorz on Saturday, January 10, at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The team is determined to leverage last season's success as they pursue a title challenge.
