Kashvee Gautam

Kashvee Gautam is a high-velocity pace bowler and a resilient comeback story, known for being one of the most expensive uncapped players in WPL history. Born on April 18, 2003, in Chandigarh, she first shot to fame by taking all 10 wickets in an innings during a BCCI U-19 match in 2020. After a heart-breaking stress fracture in her foot sidelined her for the entire 2024 season, 2025 became her year of redemption. She made a thunderous WPL debut for the Gujarat Giants, claiming 11 wickets across 9 matches and finishing with an elite economy rate of 6.45. Her performances earned her a long-awaited international call-up, making her ODI debut for India against Sri Lanka in April 2025, where she immediately impressed with her ability to swing the ball at speeds touching 110 kmph.

During the 2026 Women’s Premier League mega auction in late 2025, the Gujarat Giants demonstrated their absolute faith in her potential by using their Right-to-Match (RTM) card to secure her for 65 lakh. This move ensures she remains a vital pillar of the Giants' 'rebuild' strategy, leading a potent Indian pace attack alongside Renuka Singh and Titas Sadhu. Known for her 'angry send-offs' and aggressive powerplay bowling, Kashvee enters the 2026 season in January as a seasoned international and a key tactical weapon for captain Beth Mooney. Now fully fit and stronger than ever, the 22-year-old speedster is poised to transition from a 'prodigy' to the spearhead of Gujarat's hunt for a maiden title.
