2. Return of Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik: Hardik Pandya’s journey in the Indian T20 League 2022 has been nothing sort of surprising for Indian cricket fans. He was recovering from an injury while coming into the tournament and all eyes were on him as to how he managed his injury issues along with the responsibility of the leading team. He passed all the tests with flying colors. He scored 487 runs in the tournament and also picked up 8 wickets while leading his time to their maiden Indian T20 League title. Once again, all eyes will be on him as to how he performs in the series as he will be an important part of India’s plans for the T20 World Cup scheduled later this year in Australia.

Dinesh Karthik re-invented himself during the Indian T20 League 2022. He played an impactful role as the finisher of the Bangalore team. Karthik scored at a strike rate of 185 in the tournament while taking his team to some extraordinary wins in many cases.
