IPL 2022: I feel extremely backed, says David Miller after Gujarat Titans beat Rajasthan Royals to enter the final

Gujarat Titans (GT) seal a spot in the final of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) here at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday, star batter David Miller said continued backing from the team has played a big role in improving his game in this season. Miller was the chief architect of GT's seven-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1. Miller played an unbeaten knock of 68 from 38 balls, supported by skipper Hardik's 40 off 27 balls, which took debutants Gujarat through to the final . "I think opportunity, firstly," said Miller at the post-match presentation, answering a question on what has changed for him. "I've been given a role, I felt extremely backed from the outset...I'm enjoying my role. I've been playing for many years now and understanding my game a lot better. In high-pressure situations, you tend to go away from your game plan, but I feel like I'm trying to keep everything together close to the game plan.

IPL 2022 Eliminator, LSG vs RCB: SWOT Analysis

LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTSStrengths: A productive and destructive opening pair in KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock. Together they have scored 1039 runs and have made the Powerplay overs count with rapid stands. A varied pace attack of Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Dushmanta Chameera and Jason Holder always allows them to attack. Weaknesses: An untested middle order. Most of the run-scoring has been done by Rahul (3x50, 2x100), de Kock (3x50, 1x100) and Deepak Hooda (4x50). Between them they have 10 of the 12 fifties scored by the franchise. Evin Lewis and Ayush Badoni have scored the other two. Opportunities: For LSG to make better use of Marcus Stoinis. The square-shouldered Victorian hulk has faced only 97 balls in 9 innings, hitting seven fours and 12 sixes. Seven times he has batted after the 14th over. 17 balls vs Royals is the most deliveries he has faced in an innings. Threats: They are a bat-first team and in a tricky chase, if Rahul, or de Kock or both fall early, the batting could implode. A closer look at the games LSG have lost will tell you that when both fail, they have lost the match. Time for Holder, Krunal and Gowtham to contribute more.

IPL 2022 Eliminator, LSG vs RCB: Moment of reckoning for Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB clinch a last-four berth in this IPL, but the Faf du Plessis-led side will be on their own, with no second chance on offer, when they face Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday. The posts that went viral on social media highlighting RCB's celebrations shows how keen the side is about making it count this time.

Making the playoffs for the first time since 2016, RCB will be hungry to get their hands on the coveted trophy for the first time after having finished runners-up thrice. They have placed third and fourth twice.
