Gujarat Titans (GT) thrashed Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 24 of t🌳he ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at Mumbai’s Dr DY Patil Sports Academy on Thursday.
Chasing the massive target of 193, Rajasthan did maintain the run-rate well but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Opener Jos Buttler played a blistering knock of 54 from 24 deliveries, including 8 fours and 3 s💧ixes.
But other than the English superstar, no batter could stand up tall against Gujarat’s bowling lineup. Eventually, RR could only manage to reach 155/9 in 🐭20 overs, to lose the contest by 37 runs.
Earlier, Hardik Pandya 🥂led Gujarat from the front to take his side to a massive total. The star all-rounder stayed unbeaten till the very end and made sure Gujarat breached the 190-run mark. Hardik smashed 87 from 52 deliveries with the help of 8 fours and 4 big sixes.
Apart from Hardik, youngster Abhinav Manohar (43 off 28) and David Miller (31 not out) made 🥂some valuab♏le contributions down the order as Gujarat posted 192/4 in their allotted 20 overs.

Gujarat Titans look like a team that was designed by an analyst, rather than a traditional coa♕ch.
Lots of hitters instead of genuine batsmen. Th🐎en a combination of fast bowlers and leg spinners with the ball.
