Rajasthan Royals will hope to complete the last chapter of their fairytale season when they take on season debutant Gujarat Titans in the IPL final on Sunday at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahamadabad at 7:30 pm. The Titans themselves are living a dream to become the first-ever IPL champion in their debut season.

This will be the third encounter between the two finalists of the IPL 2022. Gujarat had won both the previous two games. It is expected that the final game will be a close affair with both sides filled with great performances.

Before the match, former Indian cricket team spinner Harbhajan Singh and former Pakistan cricket team pacer Shoaib Akhtar picked the same team as favourite to win the IPL 2022.

Speaking with Sportskeeda Cricket, the Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar said his heart said that Rajasthan Royals should win the IPL 2022 for Shane Warne. It would be great for them to win the title after 14 years. They have gone through a lot, he said. However, Akhtar predicted Gujarat Titans will win the IPL 2022 title.

He will also probably go with Gujarat and his heart also said his mind is also giving the indication if Jos Buttler does well, then it will be too dangerous. However, if there is one bowling department that can test Jos Buttler, it is Gujarat’s bowling that can do it, India’s legend spinner Harbhajan said.

Harbhajan said Titans have got good pacers and good spinners too. Shami vs Buttler will be a great, great contest to watch. Shami is such a bowler, who can get any batter out. Wishing both teams all the very best, he also said that Gujarat Titans have the upper hand but nobody knows it’s a T20, so he does not want to predict.

A total of 70 league matches have been played across 4 venues in Maharashtra.

Gujarat is playing their first-ever IPL final in its debut season while it is the first IPL final for Rajasthan for 14 years after winning the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008.

Titans have had a good break of 4 days in between heading into the big game while Rajasthan Royals have played 3 games on their way to making the final.
