What's the story

Veteran Australian all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner has been sold to Gujarat Giants in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 auction.

UP Warriors, Mumbai Indians, and Gujarat were involved in a bidding war to acquire Gardner.

Gujarat had the last laugh, having picked the Australia all-rounder for Rs. 3.2 crore.

Here we look at her stats in T20 cricket.

Gardner has racked up 1,069 runs in 68 WT20Is at a decent average of 26.72 (SR: 133.62) as of now. The tally includes six half-centuries.

Meanwhile, the right-arm spinner is Australia's sixth-highest wicket-taker in the format, having scalped 48 wickets at an economy rate of 6.23.

Gardner also has a WT20I five-wicket haul under her belt.
