Captain Hardik Pandya Allround Show

Pandya, who came to bat in the third over, stood till the end of the innings and remained unbeaten on 87 runs off 52 balls. He has scored back-to-back half-centuries in the tournament, but the knock against the Royals was more fluent as the Gujarat captain was in complete control throughout the innings.

awesome innovative manohar
The 27-year-old batsman showed glimpses of his power-hitting abilities with a few cameos in the tournament but on Thursday, he took his game to the next level with 43 runs responsibility. Manohar stabilized the innings after the initial setback with skipper Pandya for the fourth wicket with an 86-run partnership. His innings had 2 sixes and 4 fours. The highlight of his innings was his ability to play both spin and pace equally well.
Ravichandran Ashwin below average
Ashwin, who is rated as one of the best spinners in modern-day cricket, has not lived up to the mark in IPL 2022. In the five matches so far, he has taken just one wicket in the new outfit. He has not been expensive and has bowled at an economy rate of 7.15, but the paucity of wickets has raised questions about his credibility as a white-ball bowler. The veteran spinner has made several comebacks in his career and now it is time for him to make another comeback.
jose the boss
The Englishman is enjoying a great run with the bat and he continued it against Gujarat Titans. Chasing the target of 194 runs, Butler played a fast innings of 54 runs in 24 balls. Butler lost his orange cap to Hardik Pandya before the start of the second innings. However, the Rajasthan Royals opener didn’t take much time to get his cap back, hitting three boundaries in the first over from Mohammed Shami to get Pandya back.

Titans’ bowling attack shines again
The table-toppers have one of the fiercest bowling attacks of this season and have once again lived up to the expectations. Gujarat is not dependent on individual talent of any bowler as they have world class bowlers like Mohammed Shami, Lockie Ferguson and Rashid Khan who know their job well. Shami troubled the batsmen in the powerplay overs, Ferguson wreaking havoc with his raw pace. While Rashid slowed down the run rate in the middle overs to put pressure on the opposition. Against Rajasthan, Ferguson took three crucial wickets to help Rajasthan chase down the target.
