IPL 2022, GT vs RCB: David Miller, Rahul Tewatia guide Gujarat Titans home against Royal Challengers Bangalore

Rahul Tewatia (43*) and David Miller (39*) are consistently making their mark as two of the most reliable finishers in this edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Against Chennai Super Kings, it was Miller’s unbeaten 94 along with Rashid Khan’s innings that took the Gujarat Titans to victory in the last over. On Saturday, against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium, the duo’s 79-run partnership in 40 balls again bailed out the Titans from a mid-match collapse to register a six-wicket triumph. Their finishing overshadowed former Indian captain Virat Kohli’s return to form with a half-century.

Gujarat Titans, said ace all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has taken to captaincy like fish takes to water in new franchise's inception year. Out-of-favour and struggling with his back injury since his T20 World Cup appearance in UAE last year, Pandya's elevation to captaincy for the new franchise had raised a few eyebrows ahead of the season. But the Titans have turned heads with eight wins from nine matches, five of them coming in a row after their Saturday's six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore to virtually seal their playoff berth in their inception year.

There's no hierarchy in a team of equals and that has precisely been the success mantra for Gujarat Titans, said ace all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has taken to captaincy like fish takes to water in new franchise's inception year.

IPL 2022, GT Predicted XI vs RCB: Gujarat Titans Likely To Stick With Same Team

Gujarat Titans have been in terrific form in their debut Indian Premier League (IPL) season and are leading the table with seven wins from eight matches. The Hardik Pandya-led outfit have been good as a team, and when in trouble, been bailed out by some individual brilliance as they have continued to entertain while racking up the points. In the first of Saturday's double-header, they take on Royal Challengers Bangalore, who have been struggling for form, having suffered back-to-back defeats in their last two matches.
