IPL 2022 Hardik Pandya shines as Gujarat Titans defeat Rajasthan Royals by 37 runs
Mumbai/IBNS: A captain's knock by allrounder Hardik Pandya backed by disciplined bowling earned Gujarat Titans a big win of 37 runs over in form Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here on Thursday.
Batting first, Gujarat scored 192/4, courtesy Pandya's unbeaten 87 off 52 balls (eight fours and four sixes).
Two aggressive cameos by Abhinav Manohar (43 off 28 balls) and David Miller (unbeaten 31 off 14 balls) took Gujarat's score close to the 200-mark.
Chasing the total, Rajasthan started off shakily losing wickets in regular intervals to reach just 155/9 in 20 overs.
Jos Buttler was the top scorer with his blistering knock of 54 off 24 balls.
The win took Gujarat to the top of the table with four wins in five matches.
