(Cricket news) Hardik Pandya, the captain of the Gujarat Titans, will try to lead his team from the front after scoring a match-winning half-century in the last encounter against LSG. They finished as the victors in the TATA IPL 2022 during their first season, and they appear to be maintaining that momentum now.
Irfan Pathan, a former cricketer for India, commended the balance of the Gujarat Titans team and the way coach Ashish Nehra carried out his ideas.
Irfan Pathan remarked on Star Sports Cricket Live, “Gujarat Titans look like a very strong team this season as well. Their vision and execution in the last season are visible in this season as well and that makes them a dangerous side.”
Mumbai Indians, who had previously won three straight games, were defeated in a high-scoring match by a motivated Punjab Kings team. Nevertheless, the seasoned spinner Piyush Chawla, who has been playing excellently for the Mumbai Indians, bowled economically throughout the run-fest at Wankhede Stadium.
Irfan Pathan, a former cricketer for India, praised the veteran leg-spinner and said the five-time champions should support him because he has used all of his experience this season.
Irfan Pathan remarked on Star Sports Cricket Live, “Piyush Chawla is MI’s best bowler. He is showing all his experience and bowling in the right areas. Mumbai need to back him and for MI to do well, Chawla will have to be the highest wicket-taker in the TATA IPL.”
Axar Patel’s all-around performance enabled Delhi Capitals, captained by David Warner, pull out a close victory in Hyderabad earlier on Monday, giving DC their second victory of the TATA IPL 2023.
Sunil Gavaskar, a former cricketer for India, praised the all-rounder and supported him in becoming the helm of Delhi Capitals.
Sunil Gavaskar stated on Star Sports Cricket Live, “I believe Axar Patel should be appointed the captain of Delhi Capitals. He is an honest player. He’s in a good rhythm. The Indian team can benefit from him being named the captain of the franchise and performing well. All these things should be done in a long run.”
