Gujarat Giants (GT), one of the newcomers in the IPL, will be led by Hardik Pandya in the upcoming 2022 season. They made the most of the IPL 2022 mega auction by signing Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan and India opening batsman Shubman Gill during the pre-auction draft picks and then went all out to sign key players like India pacer Mohammed Shami and West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph.
Though Hardik’s fitness issues are behind him after the star India all-rounder was cleared by the NCA, questions still persist over the leadership qualities of the Baroda players.
Gujarat Giants will open their IPL campaign against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium on March 28.
Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Abhinav Sadarangani, David Miller, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Matthew Wade, Wriddhiman Saha, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rahul Tewatia, Vijay Shankar, Dominic Drakes, B Sai Sudharsan, Mohammed Shami, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal, Alzarri Joseph, Pradeep Sangwan, Varun Aaron, Darshan Nalkande, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, R Sai Kishore, Jayant Yadav
