Prediction for GT vs RR Dream11 Contest - Playing XI, Injury Updates, Pitch Report and Weather report for the clash between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2022 Final.
After 62 days of gripping cricket, the fifteenth edition of Indian Premier League has come down to its final day where the Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans will lock horns with inaugural season winner Rajasthan Royals. The final will be played in presence of more than one lac spectators at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Both the teams have played some top class cricket right through the season and they rightly deserve to be in the finals. GT who are playing their first season were table toppers in league stage and they beat RR in first qualifier. Their batting and bowling has complimented each other very well. Gujarat hasn’t been dependent on a single player be it batting unit or bowling. Number of players have stepped up for them in different matches. David Miller played a match winning knock against Rajasthan in qualifier 1 and took his team home when they required 16 runs off last over. First time captain Hardik has impressed everyone with his calm and composed nature on the field and has fans in awe of him. They will be playing at their Home ground for first time and would like to win IPL title in their first season of appearance.

Rajasthan Royals on the other hand have reached IPL final after 14 years. They won the inaugural season of IPL and haven’t made an impact since then. RR reached final after thrashing RCB one sidedly in qualifier two. Orange cap holder of this season, Jos Buttler scored a 60 ball hundred in 157 run chase. Rajasthan Royals’ management would hope that Buttler continues his golden run in the finals too. Similar to GT, RR has performed collectively in the season and different player have taken the responsibility on various occasion. They have an advantage over GT in the finals as GT hasn’t played any game on this ground so far.
