Hardik Pandya hits half century

Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bowl first against Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Titans in Match 24 of IPL 2022. Titans have made a couple of changes in the XI with Yash Dayal and Vijay Shankar replacing Darshan Nalkande and Sai Sudharshan. For Royals, Jimmy Neesham has come in, replacing Trent Boult, who had a small niggle and was not available for today’s game.

The Titans, who suffered a defeat in their last game, will face a stiff challenge against the Royals, who have got a lethal bowling line-up. They will expect India tweaker Ashwin and the wily Yuzvendra Chahal to carry out the spin duties to perfection. Gujarat will heavily rely on young Shubman Gill, who has been in sensational touch.

The focus will also be on skipper Hardik and Rahul Tewatia who have the ability to tonk sixes towards the end. On the bowling front, the Titans have Shami and Lockie Ferguson in the pace mix, with Afghanistan star Rashid Khan as their most economical bowler.

Matthew Wade could not fire fireworks for long against RR and he was run out after scoring 12 runs in 6 balls with the help of 3 fours. Resie van der Dussen showed him the way to the pavilion by running him out. After this Vijay Shankar, who returned to the crease in today’s match, came to bat but he too could not do anything special.

Vijay Shankar became the victim of Kuldeep Sen after scoring two runs in 7 balls. After his dismissal, Shubman Gill also lost his wicket and got out after scoring 13 runs in 14 balls with the help of 2 fours. After then Captain Hardik Pandya came 2 down to bat and played a captaincy knock.

Hardik Pandya scored a strong half-century in this match. He scored an unbeaten 87 in 52 balls with the help of 4 sixes and 8 fours.
