TATA IPL 2022 RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction:

Two of the mightiest sides of the season are on for the final showdown of Tata IPL 2022. Rajasthan Royals face Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium to decide who lifts the prestigious IPL trophy. Rajasthan Royals have beaten RCB in Qualifier 2 to enter the IPL finals after 14 years. The last time they were in the final was in the inaugural season of 2008 in which they left as the first-ever IPL champions.

Gujarat Titans on the other side have all the confidence in the world. They are a team of match-winners and they have already defeated Rajasthan twice this season. But it’s sure that Rajasthan hates to make the same mistakes once again against GT. It is nothing but a marvelous spectacle awaiting the fans in Tata IPL 2022 grand finale.

Hardik's next goal after five IPL titles:

Five IPL finals, five titles. One as a captain in his first season with a team making its debut and representing his home state of Gujarat. Player-of-the-Match performance in that final, including the wickets of the big three of the opposition. Yet, Hardik Pandya's bigger goal in life is to win a World Cup with India. Moments after he collected the winners' trophy and finished his other obligations, Hardik was asked what his short-term and long-term goals were now that he completed a successful comeback after injury troubles had taken away his bowling, and consequently his place in the Indian sides.

"Absolutely to win the World Cup for India no matter what happens," Hardik said. "I am gonna give it everything I have. Always been that kind of guy to put the team first. For me the goal will be simple: to make sure my team gets it the most.

The playoffs scenarios as we head into the business end:

Defending champions-four-time title holders Chennai Super Kings, and five-time winners Mumbai Indians dug their own grave after getting off to their worst starts to the league, losing one game too many.

Chennai Super Kings knocked out of playoffs race; Mumbai Indians win by five wickets:

Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings by five wickets to end playoffs hopes of four-time IPL winners at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Daniel Sams scythed through Chennai's top-order with three wickets in the powerplay, while Jasprit Bumrah and Riley Meredith plucked one each to leave the opposition reeling at 29/5. Chennai kept losing regular wickets to eventually fold for just 97. Sams picked up three wickets while Meredith and Kumar Kartikeya snared two wickets each. For Chennai, skipper Dhoni was the top-scorer with an unbeaten 36. In response, Mumbai stuttered at the start to lose both Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma.

'It will ruffle a few feathers': Iyer's shocking 'CEO is involved in team selection' revelation leaves Twitter perplexed:

It was a do-or-die test for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) when they took on Mumbai Indians at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday. The MI-KKR rivalry remains one of the most lopsided affair in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL). And although KKR had managed to stun the five-time winners earlier this season, they found themselves in deep water after Jasprit Bumrah's sensational five-wicket haul left them with 165 for nine in 20 overs. However, an impressive bowling performance helped KKR recover as they beat Mumbai for the second time this season.

Focus on 22-year-old star as Williamson-led camp eyes improved show after 3 defeats:

Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to snap a three-game losing streak when they take on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. While the Kane Williamson-led side won five straight games to break into the top-4 bracket, it has slumped to three losses on the trot, with injuries to a couple of players being the main reason behind it. Washington Sundar, who has been a specialist spinner for the team, has injured his bowling hand again, while Natarajan picked up a niggle in the game against Chennai Super Kings. Both players missed the game against Delhi Capitals where the 2016 IPL winners put up a lacklustre bowling display.
