In the fourth match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday, March 28.
Both sides will be debuting in the fifteenth season of the cash-rich league. While Hardik Pandya would lead Gujarat, KL Rahul will be the captain of Lucknow.
For Gujarat, West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph won’t be available for their first match as he was a part of the recently-concluded Test series against England. Similarly, Lucknow will miss the likes of Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Jason Holder, Kyle Mayers and Andrew Tye in the initial phase.
