IPL 2022: Picks for the match between Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants

Gujarat Titans will begin their IPL 2022 campaign against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai in the fourth match of IPL 2022.

Both the teams will aim to begin their campaign on a high and would look to get off to a winning start.

We take a look at picks for the match between Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants. We take a look at head-to-head records, stats, players to look out for in the upcoming match.

Gujarat Titans don’t have a great middle-order and they suffered a huge blow after Jason Roy pulled out of the IPL due to personal reasons. Hardik Pandya, who will be making a comeback after a long time, will look to lead from the front. This is the first time when Pandya will be leading an IPL franchise and he will look to deliver the goods as a leader as well as an all-rounder.

Similarly, KL Rahul will also aim to get the best out of his players in their debut season of the IPL. Rahul has the experience of leading Punjab Kings in the last two seasons of the IPL and he will look to make the most of it.

Head to Head: This is the first time when these two new franchises will be taking on each other.

Players to look out for: Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan will hold the key for Gujarat Titans.

KL Rahul, Ravi Bishnoi, Quinton de Kock, and Avesh Khan will be the crucial players for Lucknow Super Giants.

Prediction: As Lucknow Super Giants have a better batting unit, they might start as favorites as they have more depth in their squad.
