The Women’s Premier League 2026 witness a key squad reshuffle as Gujarat Giants bring in Jintimani Kalita to replace the injury-plagued Titas Sadhu for the leftover fixtures. This INR 10 lakh deal is a lifeline for the struggling franchise.
Kalita, no stranger to the WPL spotlight, has competed in 13 matches across two seasons with Mumbai Indians. Her left-hand batting flair combined with right-arm medium pace bowling positions her as a game-changer for Giants, who have two wins from five games and are rooted to the bottom rung.
Titas Sadhu’s season has been cruelly cut short. Fresh from Delhi Capitals, the Bengal speedster failed to play even once. Yet, her career trajectory remains bright, marked by Under-19 success leading to India debuts—a T20I in 2023 and ODI in 2024—with her most recent international game against Ireland in January 2025.
League officials have endorsed the switch, praising Kalita’s experience. For Gujarat Giants, this is more than a replacement; it’s a strategic pivot toward playoff aspirations, with Kalita’s all-round prowess set to ignite their campaign.
