IPL 2022 Qualifier 1: Vettori believes the Royals have a “edge” over the Titans due to these bowlers. Chahal currently leads the Purple Cap race with 26 wickets from 14 matches. Ashwin has been an excellent supporter, taking 11 wickets in 14 matches with an excellent economy rate.
The IPL 2022 season has come to an end. The first of three playoff matches will take place on Tuesday. Gujarat Titans will face second-placed Rajasthan Royals in a battle for a spot in the final. The game will be played at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, which will host its first IPL match of the season. Both teams will be hoping for their experienced players to perform well in the match.
Vettori : The Titans have a number of impact players in their lineup, while Rajasthan has two of the best bat and ball performers this season in Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Former New Zealand captain and ex-RCB coach and captain Daniel Vettori believes Sanju Samson’s team has a slight advantage over Hardik Pandya due to the presence of three experienced bowlers who could benefit from their experience on a big match day.
“I like the Ashwin-Chahal combination; I think it gives Rajasthan something special through the middle, and I think they’re just a little bit ahead because of those two and Trent Boult.”
“There’s nothing to knock Gujarat’s bowling lineup, but I think Rajasthan just have the edge,” Vettori said on ESPNCricinfo’s T20 Timeout Show.
Chahal currently leads the Purple Cap race with 26 wickets from 14 matches. Ashwin has been an excellent supporter, taking 11 wickets in 14 matches with an excellent economy rate. Trent Boult has taken 13 wickets in as many games, while tall Prasidh Krishna has taken 15 wickets in 14 games for the franchise.
