Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) will see the Gujarat Titans (GT) take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday, 24 May.
The IPL 2022 playoffs are set to kick off with Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals vying for a place in the final. The Titans have been the team to beat in their debut campaign, topping the IPL 2022 table table with minimal fuss. Meanwhile, a late surge in the league phase helped the Royals pip the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to the second spot. Although the league fixture between the two sides saw the Titans get the better of the Royals, both IPL teams bare a different look going into today's game. All in all, a cracking match beckons, with a place in the final in the offing.

Today’s GT vs RR Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson has been decent in IPL 2022 with 374 runs to his name. While he hasn't really fired in the middle order, his intent and ability to play both pace and spin well holds him in good stead. With Samson due for a big knock in the playoffs, he is a good addition to your GT vs RR Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Shubman Gill: Like Sanju Samson, Shubman Gill has also impressed in patches, scoring some valuable runs in the top order. While Gill is arguably the best player of spin in the league, the Gujarat opener has struggled to get going in the powerplay overs. With Gill being key to the Titans' fortunes against Ashwin and Chahal, he is one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya comes into the game on the back of a fifty against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), regaining some of his early season form. The Gujarat Titans captain has been the standout player in the middle overs with his explosiveness being key. With Pandya likely to play a role with the ball as well, he is a must-have in your GT vs RR Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Yuzvendra Chahal: Yuzvendra Chahal is the current IPL Purple Cap 2022 holder with 26 wickets to his name. The leggie has been brilliant in the middle overs, using his experience to good effect. With the Rajasthan Royals turning to him in crunch moments, he can be backed to put in another good performance today.
