Defenders
A new Gujarat defensive partnership will be seen in PKL. Sandeep Kandola at left corner & Baldev Singh at right corner will be guarding the team Gujarat. Apart from this Sourav Gulia, Vinod Kumar, Young Chang Ko, Rinku Narwal, Manuj, Kapil, Ujjval Singh, & Vikas Kale, defenders are in the team.
