Haryana lad Parvesh Bhainswal will perform defending duties for the Ahmedabad-based franchise once again after being re-signed for ₹75 lakhs which makes him the most expensive player in the Fortune Giants ranks this season.
Defender Ruturaj Koravi also stays with the Fortune Giants after having been brought back for a price for ₹30.5 lakhs while raider GB More and all-rounder Vinod Kumar received bids of ₹21.25 lakhs and ₹26 lakhs respectively.
Iranian Abolfazl Maghsoudlou adds teeth to the raiding department after being bagged for ₹15.75 lakhs. On paper, the Gujarat side does not appear to have any glaring deficiencies with Vinod Kumar expected to be a key contributor.

Subhashish’s interest in Indian sports peaked after watching a few hockey and football matches live during his childhood days, and has also played Hockey, Football, Table Tennis, Badminton at school and college level.
As a journalist, he covered every single Indian hockey match at the 2018 & 2022 Commonwealth Games, 2018 & 2023 Asian Games, 2018 Women's World Cup, 2018 & 2023 Men’s World Cup and the 2021 Olympics.

Subhashish’s favorite Indian athlete is Vandana Katariya for her relentlessness and never-say-die attitude. For him, India men's hockey team's 7-1 win over Pakistan in 2017 Hockey World League semis on the same day as India men's cricket team's loss to the same opponent in the Champions Trophy final is an iconic moment in Indian Sports history.
