Stadium, Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Shami and Yuzvendra Chahal, the three India players, had a mini get-together before the start of their IPL game between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans. Pandya and Shami are the Titans captain and pace spearhead respectively. Chahal bowls leg-spin for Royals. Before the game though, it was the united colours of India. They hugged each other, cracked jokes and shared a good laugh.
Far afield at the County Ground in Derby, as Sussex were playing an away County fixture against Derbyshire, their two debutants, India's Cheteshwar Pujara and Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan, were team-mates in arms and posed for a picture. The picture put out by Sussex Cricket on their Twitter handle had 15K likes by 7.30 pm India time. Their picture on ESPNcricinfo's Twitter handle had one sharp response: "Divided by British, United by British".

Shimron Hetmeyer likes to dance. Never mind, he doesn’t have the moves but he seems to love shaking his hip. YouTube has couple of his dance videos, the memorable one was in 2019 when he is on top of a table swaying away in celebration of being picked up by Delhi Capitals for heavy bucks. The happiest version, publicly available, though came tonight after Rassie van der Dusssen ran out Mathew Wade with a direct hit. Rassie was walking towards his captain but there came dancing Hetmeyer. Jiggling away like a school boy who has been just told by his teacher that school is half-day and he can go home to play. There was such gay abandon in his hop-and-skip routine that it’s worth more than just one look we got on live television. C’mon Star Sports, release a video, you got a viral clip on your hands.

Hardik starts the over with a six and Gill does the rest by hitting a boundary on the third ball against Riyan Parag. Oh! Wait...Riyan Parag gets the important wicket of Gill. GT: 53/3 after 6.4 overs
Prasidh to bowl the last over of the Powerplay. He bowls a good over, but this delivery is clearly above the waist and it's a no-ball and free hit. Gill smashes it for a boundary. GT: 42/2 after 6 overs
What a shot by Hardik Pandya. He hits it between the point and covers for a four. He is trying to intimidate Kuldeep Sen. Gujarat are going strong now. GT: 34/2 after 5 overs
WICKET! That was not really a good ball from Kuldeep as it was pitched short and wide outside off but Shankar only managed to get a bottom-edge and it's taken comfortably by Samson behind the stumps. Two wickets fall in quick succession as Gujarat Titans lose Mathew Wade and Vijay Shankar. GT: 16/2 after 3 overs
Oh, dear! Rassie Van Der Dussen’s brilliant direct throw sends Mathew Wade back to the pavilion. That was not a good call but some smart bit of fielding from RVD. GT: 12/1 in 1.2 overs.
Matthew Wade in IPL 2022 so far:
12(6) v RR (today)
19(19) v SRH
6(7) v PBKS
1(2) v DC
30(29) v LSG
Another full toss from Neesham and Wade punishes it past the cover region. But it's not over yet, the last ball goes for another four. Poor start from Neesham. GT: 12/0 after 1 over
Matthew Wade and Shubman Gill are at the crease. Wade is on strike. Jimmy Neesham, who has found a place in the playing 11 will open the attack... Let's Play! and it's a boundary of the first ball, past backward square leg. This truly set's the tone.
Yash Dayal receives his cap from Ashish Nehra. He will debut tonight! This ought to be fun - leading wicket-taker in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Yash rose to prominence in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he bagged 14 wickets in seven games with an economy rate of 3.77. What excited everyone about Yash is his ability to swing the ball both ways, and that he did it at 140 kmph consistently. Read more on his dreamy ride.

Sanju Samson wins his first toss in five matches and Rajasthan Royals have opted to bowl first.
Gujarat Titans will compete against Rajasthan Royals for the top place on the points table tonight.
Matthew Hayden brings us the pitch report and says, "This isn't a new wicket, it's been used once before. Aas far as dimensions are concerned -- one side is 73m, the other is 70m. So it's not a huge ground as well and the pitch is a beauty. In general its a smack-bang. A fairly strong bit of grass and it's very hard with a bit of sheen to it. 120 sixes have been hit on this ground in just 8 matches and 46 percent of those have been downtown. Expect a lot of runs tonight."
In RR's previous match, Ashwin had 'retired out' during the game against LSG, a first in the IPL; this was only the fourth such case of a batsman getting dismissed in T20s in this manner. (READ MORE)
Four of Gujarat’s batters at the top and in the middle order have fallen to Chahal at least once in T20s. Shubman Gill, Wade and Hardik have all been dismissed once each, while David Miller has been Yuzi’s No.1 victim - having succumbed to his leg-spin thrice.
Both teams have played one match each at the DY Patil Stadium in IPL 2022. The Royals triumphed over Mumbai Indians here in their second game, while Gujarat Titans lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous outing.
