RR vs GT IPL 2022 Live Score: Hardik Pandya about his injury
"Always good to win. It is just cramps. Not used to batting for so long. Gives me time though to calculate. Today I got the rhythm and planned my knock. It allows the others to play freely. I have done the other role where I have scored 12 balls 30," says Hardik.
“Captaincy is always fun. Be the flagbearer of the team. The team is gelling well. I wanted all of us to be happy for each other's happiness. That is working well for the team.”
RR vs GT IPL 2022 Live: Sanju Samson on Ashwin's batting spot
"Having someone like R Ashwin allows us to do that, Devdutt Padikkal batted 3 in the first three games. So it all depends on the combination we are playing," says Samson on promoting Ashwin.

RR vs GT IPL 2022 Live: Sanju Samson heaps praise on Hardik Pandya
"I would like to give credit to their batsmen. Hardik played well and Miller finished off well. If we would have had wickets in hand, this was chaseable. We were there for the run-rate and it was a matter of a few wickets. We had the power and potential. It was a freaky niggle and we missed Boult's experience in the powerplay. Hopefully he'll be back soon. Hardik had a great day today," says Samson.
