RCB vs GT Match Preview
Royal Challengers Bangalore will play against the Gujrat Titans in the 67th game of IPL 2022. RCB will be led by Faf du Plessis while Gujrat Titans will play under the leadership of Hardik Pandya and both these two sides are aiming to win their maiden IPL Trophy.
Gujrat Titans have performed brilliantly as a debutant side in the Indian Premier League. There is a competition between Matthew Wade and Rahmanullah Gurbaz for the opening spot but Wade is most likely to get selected due to his excellent wicket-keeping ability. Shubman Gill has been the star performer for them so far and once again he will lead the battling department. The skipper Hardik Pandya is performing with both bat and bowl. Rashid Khan will lead the spin department and he will be supported by Lockie Ferguson and Muhammad Shami.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore has an excellent batting line-up with the likes of du Plessis, Anuj Rawat, and Virat Kohli at the top. The youngster Anuj Rawat has performed superbly for RCB and he will be a great asset to the Indian team in the future. Virat Kohli will be their key player while Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik will perform the finishing job with their power hitting. Their bowling department will rely on Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, and Muhammed Siraj.
