The battle of the new Indian Premier League franchises ended with Gujarat Titans securing a thrilling five-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants in Mumbai on Monday.
Mohammed Shami's three wickets and a batting blitz by Rahul Tewatia and David Miller helped Gujarat Titans begin their IPL journey with a thrilling win over fellow debutants Lucknow Super Giants on Monday.
Having always represented Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), March 28 will also mark the first time both Pandya brothers face each other in the IPL when Hardik's Gujarat Titans take on Krunal's Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The duo was released by MI after IPL 2021 and Hardik Pandya was roped in by new outfit Gujarat Titans (GT) ahead of the mega auction as their captain. Meanwhile, Krunal Pandya was acquired by Lucknow for Rs 8.25 crore during the IPL 2022 Auction.
Hardik Pandya has played for Mumbai Indians in his entire Indian Premier League (IPL) career but this season, the all-rounder has a new challenge as he would be playing for Gujarat Titans and he will also be leading the new IPL franchise. Gujarat Titans will kickstart their campaign on Monday evening against the Lucknow Super Giants and ahead of the match, Hardik named the players he wants to emulate while trying to take his franchise to ultimate glory.
Out-of-favour from the national team, all-rounder Hardik Pandya will look to prove his doubters wrong as he captains new franchise Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. GT will take on KL Rahul-led new team Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their opening match of the season at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Hardik will have a bunch of players to choose his final XI, consisting of the likes of Shubman Gill, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan and others.
Varun Aaron burst onto the scene, the Indian fast bowling resources were still scarce. Bowling in the high 140s and clocking more than 150 clicks frequently, Aaron formed a formidable pair with Umesh Yadav for India. But genuinely quick pacers are always troubled by injuries and Aaron was no different. Frequent injuries meant that Aaron could play only 9 Tests and 9 ODIs for India. Aaron last played for India in the 2nd Test against South Africa in Bengaluru in 2015. In the Indian Premier League, Aaron has played for Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Daredevils, Royal Challengers Bangalore, King XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals.
In what will be debuts for both teams, Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 4 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on Monday. Both sides will be aiming for wins, with Hardik Pandya captaining Gujarat and KL Rahul donning the role for Lucknow. Gujarat made some good acquisitions ahead of the season and roped in Rashid Khan. The Gujarat bowling department also consists of Mohammed Shami and Lockie Ferguson. Meanwhile, Lucknow will be relying a lot on Rahul, pacer Avesh Khan, all-rounders Deepak Hooda and Krunal Pandya. All eyes will also be on Quinton de Kock, who could form a strong opening partnership with Rahul.
When Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 kicks off, one player who will have the spotlight on him is Hardik Pandya. The younger Pandya brother is set to play the role of captain for the first time this season, when he leads new IPL franchise Gujarat Titans (GT). But the focus will also be on whether he will bowl or not. While originally an all-rounder, fitness issues have seen him reduced to playing majorly as just a batter over the last few years.
