Hardik Pandya has been brilliant on the field ever since he became the captain of Gujarat Titans. The 28-year-old all-rounder is not only scoring runs but also bowling with full force. On Thursday, he played the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match no. 24 against Rajasthan Royals. He continued to bat at No. 4 and scored his sixth fifty in just 33 balls in the league.
Hardik’s return to form is also a positive development for the Indian selectors who will pick the 15-man squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. He worked hard on his fitness at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru and made a comeback in IPL 2022 as a better cricketer. ,RR vs GT IPL 2022 Match No 24 Live Cricket Score,

On Thursday, he was seen copying the bowling action of ace leg-spinner Rashid Khan before their clash against RR at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
