GT vs RR Preview
- In the previous game, Hardik Pandya scored 62 runs off 47 balls. He is our pick for the highest run scorer for the Gujarat Titans in this match. Rashid Khan has 18 wickets in the competition after taking 2-32 against RCB. We expect him to be the top wicket-taker for Gujarat Titans against Rajasthan Royals.
- In the 2022 IPL, no player has scored more runs than Jos Buttler, and the Rajasthan Royals’ opener is our pick to be their leading run scorer against the Gujarat Titans. Yuzvendra Chahal took 2-26 with the ball in the last encounter and is a strong contender for Rajasthan Royals’ top wicket taker in this match.
- Rashid Khan, an Afghanistan leg-spinner, has been in superb form over the last four matches. We think he’ll win the Player of the Match award.
Gujarat Titans face Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 of the 2022 Indian Premier League Play-Offs on Tuesday evening at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Gujarat Titans won ten of their 14 games to finish first in their group. Rajasthan Royals finished second after winning nine games. The game will start at 19:30 local time.
RCB defeated Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets in their final group stage match. They have, however, already defeated Rajasthan Royals this season and will assess their possibilities.
Rajasthan Royals experienced a pause in their form a few games ago, but they won their third game in a row on Friday against Chennai Super Kings. Coming into this match, they will feel like they have the upper hand.

Gujarat Titans Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Despite the fact that the Titans had already guaranteed their Play-off spot, they only made one change to their starting lineup for their final group stage match against RCB. Alzarri Joseph of the West Indies was left out in favor of Lockie Ferguson of New Zealand. Ferguson was a high-priced acquisition, and we expect Joseph to return to the starting lineup for this match.
