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.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
