Written off by many critics after the mega auction, Gujarat Titans did the unthinkable as they marched into IPL 2022 Final after winning Qualifier 1 against the Rajasthan Royals. From Hardik Pandya's captaincy to different players coming out to take charge of the team, here are the 3 big reasons behind GT's success.
Cool-headed captaincy from Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya emerged as one of the best cool-headed captains this season. Hardik too became a backbone to the team at the number 4 batting position as he curbed his natural instinct of going hard and constructed his inning in a way that every other batter could bat around him.
Finishers rescued Titans on most occasions
Rahul Tewatia and David rescued their team during multiple close encounters in the league stages. Tewatia's two back-to-back sixes of Odean Smith easily define the Titans' never die approach. Rashid Khan was another player who had some extraordinary performances in finishing the game with the bat.
Pack of match-winning bowlers
Mohammed Shami along with Lockie Ferguson and Alzarri Joseph helped Gujarat put pressure on opposition openers and get rid of them early. Unlike the past seasons, Shami remained consistent with both new and old balls. Rashid Khan also justified his price tag and picked wickets and also kept the scoring rate in check.

Gujarat Titans/Rajasthan Royals have stormed into the final of IPL 2022 after Sanju Samson-led side/Hardik Pandya-led side came victorious in the Qualifier 1 on Tuesday at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
If Gujarat qualifies
It came as a big achievement for Gujarat who made it to the finals in their inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League. GT finished the league stage as a top team and won 10 out of 14 matches played during the phase.
If Rajasthan qualifies
It will be only the second time that Rajasthan made it to the finals in 15 seasons of the Indian Premier League. Rajasthan's final qualification would be a perfect tribute to the late Shane Warne who led the Royals to glory in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League. Royals had a perfect outing in the league phase and finished second on the points table with 9 wins in 14 matches.
IPL 2022 orange and purple cap holders
Jos Buttler continues to be the leading run-scorer in IPL 2022 with 629 runs in 14 games and currently holding the orange cap.

Sehwag's suggestion for Umran Malik to KL Rahul&nbsp;</a>

When Mike Hesson in RCB’s podcast mentioned his team’s long-term plan, he had Faf du Plessis in mind. RCB’s Director of Cricket Operations has chalked out a 3-year-long plan with Faf du Plessis at the helm.
Apparently, the former South African skipper is 37. Though his fitness cannot be challenged, it is clear that in the near future RCB are not planning to hand the reins to a younger mind. While his predecessor, Virat Kohli, who is 33 currently might turn out to be their alternate choice, it is most unlikely that he will take up the job again.
Even Mega Auctions are far from sight which might have given the team a chance to pick younger players with a perspective of either directly making them the skipper or grooming them at least.
Along similar lines, is Chennai’s MS Dhoni!
While Faf du Plessis, at 37, is still persistent with his form. With 443 runs at a strike rate of 130, the skipper is the team’s highest runscorer. However, this is not the case with the much-loved ‘Thala’ of Chennai Super Kings. MSD in Chennai’s last league game confirmed that he will lead CSK in 2023 as well.
Although, MSD’s captaincy skills are undeniably the finest, do the 4-time champions really need a skipper who had only contributed with 232 runs at a strike rate of 123?
In Ravindra Jadeja, they had a potential option, but his embarrassing run as the skipper will make it difficult for him to take the job again.
While more and more teams are looking for younger players as an option in the cash-rich league, CSK and RCB have turned out to be the only 2 teams who seemingly aren’t ready to let go of their old guards. 8 teams out of the 10 boast skippers who are below the mark or 35, and 6 teams have skippers who are at 30 or less (Kane Williamson, 31 & Rohit Sharma, 34).

Why is RCB persisting with 37-year-old Faf du Plessis as a captain?

8 out of 10 teams in IPL 2022 have captains below the age of 35. What works for RCB's Faf du Plessis and CSK's MS Dhoni?

With unpleasant weather conditions prevailing in Kolkata where the Qualifier 1 and Eliminator of IPL 2022 will take place, BCCI has issued new rules for this season's playoffs.
As per the new rules, if heavy rain plays a villain during any of the playoff games, a 5-over-a-side game would be played, if that is not feasible, a super over would determine the winner of the game. In unforeseen circumstances, if holding the super-overs also becomes difficult then the winner of the particular match will be decided on the basis of their league stage performances. These regulations will remain the same for the finals as well. However, a reserve day has been allocated if the finals are disrupted due to weather issues.
These new rules would mean, the better team will move ahead without having to play the particular match. For the first Qualifier and Eliminator that will be played between Gujarat and Rajasthan and Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore respectively, the better team will win without any contest if weather conditions do not allow the match to proceed.
This puts Royal Challengers Bangalore in a difficult situation as the team has qualified in the 4th spot in IPL. Hence, Faf du Plessis' side faces the fear of getting knocked out without any fair chance. Rajasthan Royals, however, will still get a chance in Qualifier 2, which will be held in Ahmedabad.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made full use of the practice session ahead of their must-win clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Eliminator on Wednesday.
In hot and humid Kolkata weather, Lucknow players left no stone unturned during the practice session and Sri Lanka pacer Dushmanth Chameera revealed how he mastered the art of bowling yorkers.
Meanwhile, Deepak Hooda elaborated on how Lucknow is gearing up for the knockout match and said past performances did not matter now and Eliminator will be a totally different ball game.
In the Eliminator, fans would be keen to watch the battle between Bangalore's bowlers and Lucknow Super Giants' opening duo of KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock. They are by far the best opening pair of this IPL.
