The cricketing world expected Match No 4 of TATA IPL 2022 to be an interesting one. No doubt, the teams of Lucknow and Gujarat are new but many of the players have already played in the Indian Premier League under different franchise. They have now donned new colors.

He created history by becoming the first batsman in IPL to score a 50 on debut. Lucknow could score 158 for 6 in the allotted 20 overs. It must have been far below their expectations.
