Hardik Pandya is a livewire on the field and mostly a very safe fielder when it comes to taking catches. On Tuesday though Hardik slipped at a crucial moment during Gujarat Titans' IPL 2022 Qualifier 1 match against Rajasthan Royals. The Gujarat bowlers had done well to keep the Royals batters in check despite a whirlwind knock of 47 in 26 balls by captain Sanju Samson.
Hardik Pandya has been impressive as the Gujarat Titans captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Despite having no prior experience of leading a top side, the allrounder aced the job in GT colours. He has been great with the bat too while earlier in the season he regularly bowled. Pandya's astute captaincy was one of the main reasons behind GT becoming the first team to qualify for IPL 2022 playoffs. Pandya's team finished the league stage at the top position with most number of wins (10). His performance as the skipper has impressed former India coach Ravi Shastri.
Jos Buttler can do no wrong in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. On Tuesday, in the Qualifier 1 against Gujarat Titans, the Rajasthan Royals opener scored 89 off just 56 balls to help his team reach 188/6 in 20 overs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He hit 12 fours and two sixes en route to complete 700 runs in the ongoing edition of the IPL. In 15 matches, he has scored 718 runs so far. He is the sixth batter to score over 700 run in a single edition of the IPL.
Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will be taking on each other in Qualifier 1 of the ongoing IPL 2022 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Tuesday evening and the winner would directly go through to the final set to be played in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat had finished the league stage at the top of the table while Rajasthan followed closely behind at second.
Gujarat Titans seamer Mohammed Shami has been in fine form with the new ball this season for the franchise and he has 18 wickets to his name this season. Shami has been fairly economical as well, conceding just over eight runs per over. He has been one of the major reasons behind Gujarat's bowling performing well and he has also overseen the likes of Yash Dayal. The pacer would now hope to put in a big performance in the Qualifier 1 against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Shami is just three wickets away from taking 100 wickets in his IPL career. So far, Shami has 97 scalps to his name in 91 matches at an average of 29.01 and an economy rate of 8.49.
The IPL 2022 Qualifier 1 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals is currently under the shadow of the dark clouds in Kolkata. The city has been experiencing rain on the day of the match and fans and both the teams are keeping their fingers crossed and hoping that rain would eventually stay away and the weather gods would allow for a full 20 overs a side match be played. This is an important match as the winner will get direct entry into the final of IPL 2022.
With less than 6 hours to the toss for the IPL 2022 Qualifier 1 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals, the weather and rain update from Kolkata is quite grim. Rajasthan Royals shred a video from their team hotel of it raining. The Kolkata sky looks grey with dark clouds in the video and that surely isn't great news for cricket fans in the country.
Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler is having a season to remember in IPL 2022 and with his team all set to take on Gujarat Titans in the Qualifier 1 for a place in the final, the run machine needs to come good for the men in pink. With 629 runs in 14 matches, Buttler is sitting pretty on top of the Orange Cap list and he would hope to take home the coveted prize this year.
