With 14 points and an excellent net run rate of 0.371, GT are currently the table-toppers in IPL 2022. Due to their steady efforts, they have emerged as one of the leading contenders for the championship this year. The Gujarat Titans are currently facing Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 43rd league match of the season at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium.

The game started off as a track where there was some value for shots, with the big dimensions and racy outfield. However, as the ball got older, the off-pace deliveries on a hard length did get tougher to score off. Virat Kohli worked himself back to some sort of form, even though his tempo wasn’t the most ideal.

It was young Rajat Patidar who created the impetus with a counterpunching knock, and then cameos from Glenn Maxwell (33) and Mahipal Lomror (16*) pushed the score to decent levels.
