The Pro Kabaddi League 2025 is right around the corner, and the buzz has been growing. The team ‘Gujarat Giants’ has named Jaivir Sharma as the new coach. It will be key to see whether he can change the fortune of the team.
Gujarat Giants finished 11th in the 12-team competition, so it will be key to see how the new coach can turn the record around. It will be very tough as Gujarat looked totally out of sorts in the 2024 season.
Gujarat Giants Name New Coach
In an exciting development for the Gujarat Giants, Jaivir Sharma has been appointed as the new head coach of the team. Bringing a wealth of experience and fresh strategic insights, Sharma is expected to steer the Giants toward greater success in the upcoming seasons.
Supporting him in this journey is Varinder Singh Sandhu, who will take on the role of assistant coach. Together, this coaching duo aims to build a strong, cohesive unit ready to challenge for the IPL title.
Following the poor performance of Gujarat in 2024, they replaced Ram Mehar Singh with Jaivir. According to the provided schedule, the PKL 2025 auction will take place on 31st May and 1st June.
