Hardik Pandya has been leading from the front with inspirational performances and is also going out of his way to create a happy team environment leading to a good start by Gujarat Titans in its maiden IPL campaign, feels Rashid Khan. Gujarat are now on top of the table with four wins from five games and Hardik is currently second in list of run-getters and is also bowling well in every game.
Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya had an almost perfect day at the office as he displayed an all-round performance to help his side defeat Rajasthan Royals by 37 runs at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy on Thursday. With the bat in hand, the all-rounder scored 87 runs to help Gujarat post 192/4 in the allotted twenty overs. With the ball in hand, he ended up taking one wicket and his acrobatic fielding helped in bringing out the dismissal of Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson. Hardik came up with a direct-hit to find Samson short of his crease.
Gujarat Titans went to the top of the IPL 2022 points table after registering their fourth win this season. The Hardik Pandya-led side defeated Rajasthan Royals by 37 runs on Thursday. It was a complete all-round performance as Gujarat first scored 192/4 in 20 overs and then they restricted Rajasthan Royals to 155/9. Chasing 193, Rajasthan Royals tried something out of the box as they sent in Ravichandran Ashwin at No.3 to partner Jos Buttler who was going hell for leather. However, this move has been criticised by former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar as he termed it as "baffling" and "ridiculous".
Rajasthan Royals batter Jos Buttler has been in tremendous form in the ongoing IPL 2022 and he is the current holder of the Orange Cap with 272 runs from five games. The batter has brought his A-game to almost every match for the franchise this season and the bowlers have found it tough to dismiss the batter early. In the match against Gujarat Titans, Buttler seemed to be at his destructive best as he reached 50 off just 23 balls and it took a real special delivery from pacer Lockie Ferguson to send the batter back to the pavilion.
At the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai on Thursday, Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Hardik Pandya hardly put a foot wrong as they went past Rajasthan Royals by 37 runs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 fixture. Not only did Hardik have a brilliant outing with the bat, scoring unbeaten 87, but also played a crucial part with the ball in hand. The all-rounder didn't stop there and even inflicted a crucial run-out with a direct hit to stamp his authority in the match. Apart from this, Hardik's leadership qualities were also on full display as his clever field placements and bowling changes helped derail the RR run-chase of 193 runs.
"It was just cramps, nothing else," that is how Hardik Pandya cleared the air after taking himself off the attack in the 18th over following a match-winning knock against Rajasthan Royals in the IPL on Thursday. The injury-prone cricketer has been doing well in all departments in his comeback tournament. He gave his fans a lot to worry about as he walked back into the dugout in the middle of his third over.
Gujarat Titans all-rounder Vijay Shankar returned to the team for their win against Rajasthan Royals on Thursday, but was not able to make an impact as he was dismissed for just 2 off 7 deliveries. He found himself trending on Twitter, but for all the wrong reasons, as fans took to the microblogging site to troll him. While some asked how he was picked up in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction but not a veteran like Suresh Raina, others suggested that he should only be warming the benches in the cash-rich league.
Gujarat Titans coasted past Rajasthan Royals in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match on Thursday at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai thanks to a brilliant all-round display by Hardik Pandya. Hardik hit an unbeaten 87 off 52 deliveries and was ably assisted by Abhinav Manohar (43 off 28) and David Miller (31* off 14) as GT posted 192/4 in their 20 overs. Lockie Ferguson then struck thrice and so did debutant Yash Dayal as RR failed to chase the target despite winning the toss and opting to field.
