Gujarat Titans started their IPL 2022 campaign with a brilliant win over Lucknow Super Giants in their opening game. They will face Delhi Capitals in their second game of the season on 2 April 2022 at the MCA Stadium in Pune.
The signing of Rahul Tewatia for such a heavy price in the auction was criticized by a lot of experts, but he again proved his class with the bat. Tewatia played a vital part to help Gujarat register their first win of the season. Apart from Tewatia, even Abhinav Manohar proved his class against Lucknow.
The bowling attack of the Gujarat Titans is the biggest positive of the side. Mohammad Shami was swinging the ball for fun in the first game, and he has an able partner in Lockie Ferguson. Varun Aaron is someone who may leak runs, but his raw pace can earn him wickets. Rashid Khan is leading the spin attack of the side, and he is the world’s best.
Hardik Pandya is the leader of the side, and finally, he is playing as an all-rounder. The sight of Hardik Pandya bowling his full quota of overs is a sight of delight for Indian cricket fans. Ahead of the tournament, Ashish Nehra said that Hardik Pandya deserves to be in the squad even as a pure batter.
Ashish Nehra IPL teams
Ashish Nehra has played for five teams in his career. He has represented Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals (Delhi Daredevils then), Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians and Pune Warriors. Nehra has scalped 106 IPL wickets at an economy of 7.80, whereas his average has been 23.41.
What a way to kick-off the tournament, @gujarat_titans 🔥 Great performances by the captain @hardikpandya7 @DavidMillerSA12 and the man @rahultewatia02 🙌 and a brilliant cameo by Abhinav Manohar. Mubarak ho Nehra ji 🎉 #IPL2022 #LSGvGT
