How did Lockie Ferguson perform for Gujarat Titans?
Ferguson had featured in 13 matches for the Gujarat Titans in their maiden appearance in the lucrative tournament. However, he did not turn out to be economical for the franchise, as he gave away 8.96 runs per over.
The right-handed fast bowler, a part of the New Zealand squad which qualified for the T20 World Cup 2022, scalped 12 wickets from 13 matches that he played for Gujarat Titans. He recorded his best bowling figures of the season on 4/28. The gun pace can, however, turn out to be an X-factor in the KKR franchise.
Some of the other overseas players in the Gujarat Titans franchise include – David Miller, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Matthew Wade, Dominic Drakes, Alzarri Joseph, Noor Ahmad, and Rashid Khan.
