IPL 2022, LSG vs GT: Gujarat Titans, Lucknow Super Giants aim for winning start on debut
Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants would aim to start their IPL campaign on a winning note when they square off here on Monday. Gujarat could most likely open with young Shubman Gill and Afghanistan batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who is also a wicket-keeper. The duo can take any opposition attack to task, but would need to be wary of the bounce at the Wankhede stadium. Gujarat would heavily bank on the performance of their skipper Hardik Pandya, who has loads of experience playing at the Wankhede with Mumbai Indians. Known for his six-hitting prowess, Hardik this season will have to take more responsibility with the bat and also bat higher up the order.

The latest in a long line of batting collapses left England 103 for eight in their second innings at stumps on Saturday's third day of the third and final Test in Grenada -- a lead of only 10 runs with two days left to play.
