RR vs GT, the match 24th of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai from 7:30 PM IST on 14 April 2022.
Team Updates:
Rajasthan Royals are comfortably sitting at the top of the table with 3 wins in 4 games. They have unearthed a new talent in Kuldeep Sen in their previous encounter against Lucknow Super Giants in the tournament. Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna have been phenomenal for them with the new ball. Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Ashwin are equally effective in the middle overs.
Their batting unit is somewhat concerning, with Sanju Samson not being able to put up a knock of significance in the tournament so far. However, Jos Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer have been the pillar of their batting line-up, and the duo is in fantastic touch at the moment.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans suffered their first loss of the tournament against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous outing at the tournament. Currently, they sit at 4th position in the points table with 3 wins in 4 games. Their batting is a cause of worry for them, with Hardik Pandya, Matthew Wade and David Miller being unable to up the run rate when the team requires it.
Nevertheless, Shubman Gill and Rahul Tewatia’s form with the bat gives them some assurance. Abhinav Manohar is also an exciting talent that can give them a boost in the middle overs. Their bowling unit lacks a specialist in the death overs, but Mohammed Shami, Lockie Ferguson and Rashid Khan are inflicting heavy damage on the opposition before the death overs.
