The Gujarat Giants: At the start of 2024, Priya Mishra was a rising leg-spinner from Delhi, poised to make a tremendous breakthrough. Just weeks before 2024 ends, Priya has had a whirlwind year, transitioning from obscurity to representing India in international cricket.

The Gujarat Giants picked her for WPL 2024, but Priya couldn’t play a game as the team’s poor performance led to them finishing in last place again. By keeping Priya, who has good control over her googly, in the team instead of the experienced international player Sneh Rana, the side indicated their confidence in Priya’s potential for future success.

Strong performances in domestic cricket, including picking 23 scalps for Delhi in 2023/24 Senior Women’s One-Day Trophy meant Priya was selected for India ‘A’ tour of Australia in August, where her breakout moment came in picking 5-14 in the third 50-over game at Mackay.
