Among the new players acquired by Gujarat Giants for the 2025 season is 27-year-old legspinner Prakashika Naik. Ahead of the auction in December, Naik showcased her ability to pick wickets at regular intervals playing for India E in the Senior Women's T20 Challenger Trophy and continued her wicket-taking form in the Womens Senior One-Day Trophy. She bowls tight lines, seldom giving batters an opportunity to attack, and adds variety to the GG bowling line-up.
