IPL 2022: Hardik Pandya asked us to express ourselves and enjoy, says Gujarat Titans batter David Miller

IPL 2022: David Miller opened up on Hardik Pandya's style of captaincy, saying that Gujarat Titans captain expects the players to have fun while working equally hard.

Gujarat Titans beat Lucknow Super Giants in their opening game of the IPL 2022 on Sunday, March 28th. The debutants of the premier competition went against each other at the Wankhede Stadium.

GT beat LSG by chasing 159 runs with two balls to spare, with some great batting by Rahul Tewatia (40), Matthew Wade (30), Hardik Pandya (33), and David Miller (30) for the team.

GT batsman David Miller spoke after the game, praising Rahul Tewatia’s batting.

During the post-match press conference, he said "We tried to give ourselves the best chance, and then that one over from the spinner (Hooda) went for 21 (22 runs) and the next over (from Ravi Bishnoi) for another 19 (17 runs). It was really nice to be out there with him (Tewatia) and see what he is capable of."

"In the last couple of years, Rahul has chased down some imposing totals. We were just waiting for the momentum to shift. We took our time initially and couldn't get going. But we knew that if we took it deep, we could chase 40 in the last 3 overs on this particular ground," he added.

"I have played against him a few times. So what I have seen on the field of him in the past was exactly what I was expecting. He asked us to have fun. He wants us to work hard and wants to win," said the South-African.
