Hola! We're officially into the final and the important week of IPL 15. 70 matches were played in the span of 58 days and this duration has passed on so quickly, feels like it all started just yesterday. IPL bids adieu to Mumbai, the host city for all the league stage matches and has landed in the city of Joy, Kolkata for the Qualifier-1 & Eliminator!

In the history of IPL, IPL 2022 is the season where the highest number of sixes were hit. A total of 1000 sixes were hit in the league stage matches only and wondering how many more can be hit in the next 4 matches. 

Important Rule(s) you need to know for Q-1, Q-2, Eliminators, and Final :
1. IPL 2022 Final will be having a reserve day.
2. Qualifier 1, Eliminators and Qualifier 2 results will be determined on Super Overs in case of rains. If even Super Over is not possible, then the league stage table standing will be considered.

Gujarat Titans Team News & Playing XI

The debut team which also happens to be the first team to qualify for the IPL 2022 Playoffs is ready to take on Rajasthan Royals in the Qualifier-1. 

The Titans have been a surprise package of the season. The Titans' deserve applause because in spite of lacking a good batter at the #3 and #4 position and S Gill lacking at scoring runs they've managed wonderfully and ruled the points table. W Saha has made up for Gill's inconsistency and giving the team the start they need in the Powerplay. H Pandya's score lately has been dropped and failing to make an impact with the bat and with him not bowling, the team needs that balance in this crucial as not always lower middle-order can pull off the match though R Khan, D Miller, and R Tewatia have shown their ability things can fall off so needs to be prepared. The Titans' pace attack proved to be the most insightful with the new ball, picking 25 wickets. M Shami has literally ruled the Powerplay with 11 wickets. 

The selection of the Playing 11 for the Qualifiers can be a great task ahead for Titans' because Titans' will have to look for a place to fit in the place of misfiring M Wade to replace with an Indian or Overseas batter at the critical #3 position. S Sudarshan can be a good fit, as he has not failed to play a good inning in the matches he has played. 

Playing XI: Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade / Rahmanullah Gurbaz / Sai Sudarshan, Hardik Pandya, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Mohammad Shami, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal. 

Rajasthan Royals Team News & Playing XI 

The winners of the inaugural IPL season are back to playing playoffs after 2018 and having the worst season(s) later in 2019 & 2020. 

RR has been excellent this season right from the auctions until their last league stage match, an absolute cracker of smart strategy displayed by them. The Spin Twins (R Ashwin & Y Chahal) have been the find for RR and this duo alone has picked 38 wickets for RR. Until last year, they lacked at spin and now they're ruling in spin, that's how the tables changed. R Ashwin has shined not just with the ball BUT with the bat also and put on a class batting display, he stepped up with utmost grace on management's faith to play him at No.3 in matches. In this key match, the area(s) of concern for Royals' can be the pace attack, who have taken the fewest wickets (46) amongst the teams, and J Buttler, who started the tournament on the highest note by scoring three 100s in 7 innings but sadly he has scored only 138 runs in his last seven matches. 

The selection can be easy for Royals' except for a toss-up between these overseas players (O McCoy & J Neesham), Neesham is good with the bat too, and not just the ball but looks like O McCoy has sealed his spot in the Playing XI with his attractive bowling spells in the matches he has played. 

Playing XI: Yashaswi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Devdutt Paddikal, Shimron Hetymer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Obed McCoy / James Neesham. 

India Bet Top Picks 

Top Batsman(s) - Jos Buttler / Shubman Gill 

Both these batsman has blown hot and blown cold throughout the season and both these opening batters are very vital to their respective teams and need them to go out and play in their natural bold form and give the team a dream start in their dream match which will help them to play the IPL 15 final. The match being played at Eden Gardens is considered one of the better batting surfaces, expect either of them to go big in their big match. 

Bet on Jos Buttler at 3.50 on Betwinner 

Bet on Shubman Gill at 3.60 on Betwinner

Top Bowler(s) - Rashid Khan  / Yuzvendra Chahal 

These spin specialists have bowled superbly throughout the season and have lived up to the expectations with utmost grace and luckily have not gone through a very rough day. With, Y Chahal seating comfortably at 1st position and R Khan at the 6th position in the Purple Cap holders list pretty much says they've dominated the season and will look to continue ruling it. The match is going to be played at Eden Gardens where spinners do come late in action, no wonder if either of these rule the field or even both. 

Bet on Y Chahal at 3.74 on Betwinner 

Bet on R Khan at 3.00 on Betwinner
