WPL 2026: Beating Teams Led By Indian Captains Will Be Extra Motivation, Says Ashleigh Gardner Ahead Of Giants' Opener
DY Patil Stadium: While heaping praise on the Indian women's team for its recent upsurge leading to the sensational victory in the 50-over World Cup, Australian star Ashleigh Gardner, the captain of Gujarat Giants, said beating teams led by Indian players is extra motivation for her because of the popularity they enjoy at home.
Gardner, however, will have to wait a bit to achieve her aim of winning against an Indian captain as her team, the Gujarat Giants, will open its campaign in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 against UP Warriorz, who will be led by Gardner's former captain Meg Lanning, at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Saturday.
With three of the five teams in WPL -- Mumbai Indians (Harmanpreet Kaur, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Smriti Mandhana) and Delhi Capitals (Jemimah Rodrigues) -- being led by Indian captains, Gardner will have plenty of opportunities to experience this feeling.
