Led by Hardik Pandya, the Gujarat side became the first team to qualify for the playoffs of IPL 2022 and has topped the table for most of the season. Their performances were fueled by an all-round display from the batters and bowlers. Skipper Pandya has led by example and is the top scorer of the team. Others have chipped in with crucial innings at the right time, which is evident in GT’s consistent results.
GT have won 10 of their 14 games this season. Despite losing the last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), they are firmly placed at the top with 20 points. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is at the second spot with 18 points and the remaining two playoff spots are hotly contested. Rajasthan Royals (RR), RCB and Delhi Capitals (DC) are in the race to be the final two teams. The final picture will be clear this weekend as RR and DC play the final round of fixtures.
