The Gujarat Giants shared their excitement about Klinger’s appointment on social media, highlighting the new depth he brings to the coaching staff for a stronger league performance. Klinger’s collaboration with cricket icon Mithali Raj, who is the Mentor and Advisor of the team, is anticipated to significantly enhance the team’s dynamics.
Klinger himself, along with the team management, expressed optimism about leveraging his cricketing insight and coaching expertise to elevate the team’s performance. Sanjay Adesara of Adani Sportsline praised Klinger’s cricketing pedigree and his potential impact on the team, particularly in collaboration with Mithali Raj.
As the Gujarat Giants prepare for their opening match against the Mumbai Indians on February 25, the addition of Klinger to the coaching team, alongside Mithali Raj, positions them for a promising season in the WPL.
