The 67th match of IPL 2022 is being played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans. GT captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bat first. Gujarat’s start was not special and in the third over, Shubman Gill came out after scoring 1 run. Following this, Matthew Wade came out after scoring 16 runs in the sixth over and captain Hardik Pandya came into the box to bat. Pandya batted as soon as he arrived. He scored 62 runs on 47 balls.
Meanwhile, something happened on the 10th that the RCB players and the referee, including the spectators on the field, lost their laughter. In fact, on the last ball of the 10, Hardik Pandya tried to make a quick shot. During this he left the bat in her hand. During this, Pandya’s bat fell on the leg umpire. Faced with such a situation, her wife Natasha Stankovic sitting on the stand was also surprised and was seen wondering what happened.
