Former cricketers predict who will win the GT vs RR IPL 2022 Qualifier 1, and who will be the better captain between Hardik and Samson

Former cricketers Daniel Vettori, Ravi Shastri, AB de Villiers, and Wasim Jaffer all picked Gujarat Titans to win Qualifier 1 against Rajasthan Royals. On Tuesday, the IPL 2022 playoffs will begin with the GT vs RR Qualifier 1 match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Shastri and Vettori, for example, have thrown their support behind the Royals bowlers ahead of the big match.

R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, according to former New Zealand captain Vettori, give the Royals an advantage.

“I adore the Ashwin-Chahal pairing, which gives RR a unique middle section. Trent Boult, of course… As a result, Rajasthan has a slight advantage in terms of bowling attack “ESPNCricinfo obtained his statement.

Rajasthan has a better bowling attack in terms of experience, according to Shastri.

When asked to choose between Hardik Pandya of the GT and Sanju Samson of the RR, both Shastri and Vettori chose the former.

“Hardik, I believe… Especially since this is his first season. He’s with a new franchise, with a new coaching staff, management team, and players, and bringing them all together and leading them to the top of the standings has been nothing short of remarkable “Vettori explained.

“Hardik has clearly (impressed) more. It’s a new team, he’s captaining for the first time, and he’s done a fantastic job so far “Shastri explained.

In a video interview with VUSport, former South Africa captain AB de Villiers picked Gujarat Titans as the favourite in Qualifier 1. On the other hand, former India opener Jaffer chose RR. “If AB goes with GT, I’ll pick the Royals,” Jaffer said in the video.

The winner of the GT vs RR Qualifier 1 will advance to the final, which will be held on May 29 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The loser will be given another chance. The winner of the Eliminator match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants will face them.
