IPL 2022: Gujarat Titans' Road To The Final

Gujarat Titans have reached the final of their first season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and will look to win the title when they take on Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The Titans secured Hardik Pandya, Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill as their pre-auction picks and then secured the likes of David Miller, Rahul Tewatia and Mohammed Shami at the mega auction ahead of the season. Many experts were critical of their squad, but they surprised everyone by dominating the league stage and then going on to reach the final under Pandya's captaincy.

Hardik Pandya "Has A Poise That Is Typical Of Winners": Gujarat Titans Team Director

In their first season in the Indian Premier League, Hardik Pandya has done an excellent job of leading Gujarat Titans to the final. GT dominated the league stage and then beat Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 to be the first team to make the IPL 2022 final. They will now take on RR again, after they beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in Qualifier 2. The Titans' team director, Vikram Solanki, heaped praise on their skipper and said he has "a poise that is typical of winners."

Gujarat Titans will take on Rajasthan Royals in the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Playing in front of their home crowd, GT will look to seal their first title in their very first season in the IPL. RR, on the other hand, will vow for their second IPL title, having won their only title back in the inaugural edition in 2008. Both teams met twice earlier this season -- league phase and Qualifier 1 -- and GT won both the games. RR, however, will back themselves to go all the way this time, having defeated RCB in a one-sided Qualifier 2.

IPL 2022: I am trying to hold one end up and let the bowler from the other end attack, says Gujarat Titans' Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan deploy a defensive game-plan of trying to hold one end up while allowing the bowler at the other end go for the kill. In his fifth IPL season, Rashid is no longer an unknown entity and the batters across franchises are trying to see off his overs while trying to go after other bowlers in Gujarat Titans line-up. While an economy rate of 6.73 in 15 games is very impressive, Rashid is currently ninth in the overall list with 18 wickets.

IPL 2022 Final, GT vs RR: 'Titans' of Gujarat brace up for 'Royal' fight from Rajasthan's rockstars

IPL final between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals is about this and much more. When IPL started over two months back, nobody would have believed that two captains walking out for toss in the title clash will be Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson. 'Remember the Titans', a 2000 Hollywood film headlined by Denzel Washington is considered one of the best sports films on the proverbial underdog story, which always has a capital. It is not known if Titans skipper Hardik has watched it but for him and head coach Ashish Nehra, this journey of two months has been nothing short of spectacular. They have made a lot of people eat a humble pie because many, including experts, termed them a team of no-hopers post auction.

IPL 2022: Playing every game has allowed me to settle in my role, says Gujarat Titans' David Miller

David Miller has become in IPL 2022. The South African’s cracking, 38-bal 68 not out turned the 189-run chase a cruise for the Gujarat Titans. It was the umpteenth time that Miller provided the perfect finishing touches to the Gujarat Titans innings this season. While the quickfire cameos have been plenty, his top score- a match-turning 51-ball unbeaten 94 against Chennai Super Kings at Pune - was a knock for the ages, as he bailed his team out of hail in the company of Rashid Khan. Enjoying by far the best of his nine IPL seasons so far, the 32-year-old South African has scored 449 runs in 15 games at an average of 64.14 to become the top run-scorer for Gujarat Titans in this edition. Playing at No 5, he’s looked far more dangerous than when he turned out for the Rajasthan Royals or Punjab Kings. His solid blows have been a massive factor in GT’s superb run to the final in the franchise’s first season itself.
