The much-anticipated third edition of the WPL is set to commence on February 14. The Gujarat Giants will start their campaign against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Vadodara. While the franchise remains one of the most celebrated teams in the tournament, Gujarat Giants have struggled in both previous seasons, finishing at the bottom of the table each time.
Determined to turn things around, the Giants have made a bold move by appointing Australian all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner as their new captain for this season. It is also important to mention that, Giants also has some of the most talented and charismatic players in the league. So in this article, let's take a look at the three most beautiful and talented players of the team.

Phoebe Litchfield has been making headlines ever since her international debut. She first appeared in T20Is against India in late 2022 and made an immediate impact in ODIs against Pakistan in early 2023. At just 21 years old, one of Litchfield’s biggest strengths is her confidence against spin bowling.
She not only tackles spinners effectively but also looks to dominate them with her signature reverse sweeps and aggressive shot-making. Her attacking mindset will be a major boost for the Giants’ batting lineup in the upcoming season. Alongside her cricketing abilities, she has also been in the spotlight because of her beauty.
