IPL 2022 / Punjab Kings and Gujarat titans changed their captain same day due to injury

IPL 2022 | In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Sunday proved to be a very bad day for the two teams as they had to change their captains. Yes, the captain of Punjab Kings was changed in the first match on Sunday, while Gujarat Titans had to change their captain in the second match of the day. Although, these captains of Punjab and Gujarat have been appointed temporarily, not permanently, but it is definitely a setback for these teams.

Mayank Agarwal, the regular captain of Punjab Kings and Hardik Pandya, the regular captain of Gujarat Titans, could not play due to injury. In such a situation, Punjab Kings came to play under the captaincy of Shikhar Dhawan, while Rashid Khan took over the captaincy of the Gujarat team. Although Punjab captain Mayank Agarwal is likely to make an early comeback, Gujarat team captain Hardik Pandya's chances of making an early comeback are not visible.

Shikhar Dhawan, who came to captain Punjab Kings, told that Mayank Agarwal has a toe injury. During the practice session, Mayank's toe was hit by a ball. In such a situation, he did not come down to captain the team against Sunrisers Hyderabad. At the same time, Hardik Pandya was injured while bowling against Rajasthan Royals in the last match. At that time there was a serious injury. In such a situation, his playing in the recent past looks suspicious.
