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.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
