Hardik Pandya has been a wall for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2022. He has been batting brilliantly, whereas his bowling has also been great this season. Hardik has scored 228 runs in IPL 2022 at 76.00, whereas he has scalped four wickets in bowling as well. He has smashed a couple of half-centuries in the tournament.

Hardik Pandya got injured while bowling against Rajasthan Royals in the last game. He could only bowl 3 balls of his 3rd over, and then he felt pain. Vijay Shankar completed the over of Hardik Pandya. Although, Hardik was adjudged the Man of the Match for his 52 balls 87 runs knock and he also got one wicket in bowling.

Rashid Khan has said that Hardik can be back for the next game as it is just stiffness. The return of Hardik Pandya will certainly impact the run of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022.
