Yuzvendra Chahal might not have ended up on the winners podium after Rajasthan Royals lost to Gujarat Titans in the IPL final but had a lot to be pleased about with his overall performance in the IPL 2022. The leg-spinner won the Purple Cap by taking a total of 27 wickets in IPL 2022. Going into the match, Chahal was in second position despite having taken the same number of wickets (26) as RCB's Wanindu Hasaranga.

Currently, the Indian spinner is in second position despite having taken the same number of wickets (26) as Purple Cap holder Wanindu Hasaranga.

Chahal has been in top form for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2022 and his team will be hoping that he adds to his tally in the IPL final against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The leg-spinner is also just three wickets away from becoming the highest wicket-taker in an IPL for Rajasthan Royals.

Rajasthan Royals director of cricket Kumar Sangakkara finds Sanju Samson "exceptional" as the Kerala man has been able to perform triple roles of wicket-keeping, captaincy and batting with aplomb in a tournament of IPL's magnitude. RR easily beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by seven wickets on Friday to reach their first IPL final since 2008 and have a shot at a second title. "Sanju has been exceptional. He started off with quite a tough test last season with a young side and lot of upheaval because of COVID bubbles, tournament of two halves but he has really grown into his role," Sangakkara said at the post-match press conference.
Jos Buttler if he mouths this famous dialogue of Jim Carrey from the Hollywood blockbuster 'Mask' which came back in 1994. On Friday night at the colosseum called the Narendra Modi Stadium, with close to 1,00,000 spectators relishing every bit of ultra-entertaining batting, Buttler slayed the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowlers in the second qualifier at will in a pulverising 60-ball 106, which took the Rajasthan Royals into their first IPL final since the inaugural season in 2008. While the Englishman waltzed to his fifth hundred in the IPL overall, the next highest score after his was Sanju Samson's 23. Buttler has now scored 824 runs at an average of 58.85 with a strike rate of 151.47 in a tally which includes four hundreds and four fifties.
