Both Rajasthan and Gujarat have won 3 out of 4 games they have played in IPL 2022 and winner of today's game will end up as table topper. Gujarat after winning their first 3 matches, lost the last to Hyderabad meanwhile RR are coming after a thrilling win against LSG. Both Rajasthan and Gujarat have very good bowling attack but Gujarat's batting hasn't been as good as RR's top heavy batting line-up which comprises of Devdutt Padikkal, Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson.
Gujarat have solid opener in form of Shubman Gill, meanwhile their skipper Hardik Pandya's all-round ability would play a key role against this Rajasthan side. Youngsters like Sai Sudharsan and Abhinav Sadarangani will be key to their team's success while Miller who hasn't been so good with the bat should prove his potential.
Gujarat have won only 1 out of 2 games meanwhile Rajasthan have won 3 out of 4 games while batting first in this IPL so far. It will be interesting to see whether toss can play a crucial role in this game or not.
