IPL 2022 will begin on March 26 but Gujarat Titans will play their first match on March 28.

Ahead of the tournament, Hardik Pandya has opened up on his expectations from the season and how he sees Gujarat faring.

‘Iam am quite happy with the team, it is a new team. To be honest, we are not here to prove anything, we are here to play good cricket. We are here to make sure the environment is right and players can flourish. There is no expectation as such, we are going to be a team which will make sure that it keeps improving, said Hardik in a video posted on official Twitter handle of IPL.
