GT and CSK have started the season opposite. With four wins and one loss in five matches, GT, who is playing in his maiden IPL season, has grabbed the top spot in an impressive campaign so far.
CSK, on the other hand, lost their first four matches, their worst start to a season so far. However, they broke the losing streak with a confidence-boosting win over Royal Challengers Bangalore. They are ranked ninth on the points table – a notch above fellow struggling Mumbai Indians, who have lost all their six matches so far.
Pandya has been in impressive form with 228 runs in five innings for his franchise so far – the third most in the season (at the time of publication). He scored an unbeaten 87 against Rajasthan Royals in GT’s last match, an innings that proved to be a game-changing performance.
Pandya was not retained by Mumbai Indians before the mega auction of IPL 2022 and was later drafted by GT for Rs 15 crore. And so far he has given a decent account of himself as a captain, with some experts claiming that he could be a strong contender to lead India in white-ball cricket.
