Hardik Pandya has been in form since the beginning of this season which is a very good sign for Gujarat Titans. After losing the toss, the opening pair of the Gujarat team could not do many wonders and Shubman Gill lost his wicket in the third over. After Shubhman Gill, Sai Sudarshan also became the victim of T Natarajan in the last over of the power play. After Sudarshan, Matthew Wade also flopped in his fourth match but Hardik Pandya faced the pressure despite these three wickets and pulled his team out of difficult situations.
