In IPL 2022, Ajay Jadeja lauded the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for their incredible team spirit and support for one another.

To illustrate his point, the former Indian hitter used the iconic hug between Deepak Hooda and Krunal Pandya, who had had conflicts in the past.

With 16 points from 11 games, LSG currently leads the rankings. They’ve won four of their last five games. Gujarat has the same number of points but is ranked second on the leaderboard due to a lower net run rate. They have lost both of their recent games.

Lucknow, according to Jadeja, is a superior overall unit, whereas Gujarat is more reliant on individual brilliance.

 He expressed his thoughts on Cricbuzz, saying: “Lucknow is improving as a team. There are numerous jigsaw puzzles available. Gujarat has them as well, but they have individuals to better who are putting up spectacular performances. LSG is making progress thanks to everyone’s contributions and assistance.”

“Even two persons who had been arguing before are now hugging each other. Rashid Khan and Hardik Pandya are not Krunal Pandya and Deepak Hooda. However, their players regularly deliver.”

Ajay Jadeja reflects on GT’s loss to MI ahead of the LSG clash:

In a unique take on Gujarat’s defeat to the Mumbai Indians (MI), Jadeja stated that Hardik Pandya’s team lost the one match in which they performed as a team, with no outstanding individual efforts. Ajay Jadeja elaborated:

“There are two perspectives on Gujarat’s defeat in Mumbai. On the plus side, they should have won that game by a narrow margin. On the other hand, they did lose the only match in which they competed as a team.”

“Previous victories were aided by a great performance from one of the team members. They looked sturdy from the start against MI, but the game slipped away at the end,” Ajay Jadeja said.

On Tuesday, May 10th, the two top teams will face off in the 57th match of IPL 2022 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune.
