Gujarat Giants, formerly known as Gujarat Fortune Giants, is a prominent professional kabaddi team that has etched its name in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL). Adani Wilmar Ltd owns this franchise based in the vibrant city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Gujarat Giants debuted in the Pro Kabaddi League during Season 5, marking their entry into the highly competitive world of kabaddi. Gujarat Giants showcased their mettle by reaching the finals in 2017 and 2018. Despite finishing as runners-up on both occasions, their impressive performances solidified their reputation as a formidable league squad.
However, in the last season of PKL, the Gujarat Giants faced some challenges and finished in the 8th position. The setback forced the franchise to rethink its strategy and make strategic decisions to recover and return stronger.
In preparation for PKL 2023, Gujarat Giants have taken bold steps by releasing several star players, including Rinku Narwal, Sandeep Kandola, and the Korean sensation Dong Geon Lee. The release of key players signifies Gujarat Giants’ determination to rebuild their squad and regain their former glory. The franchise is actively scouting for fresh talent and experienced individuals who can complement their vision for success.
