The final battle so far

Hardik Pandya

Earlier Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and opted to bat first which wasn’t a great decision at all for them because they failed to put a competitve target on the score-board. Gujarat’s bowlers, especially their skipper Hardik Pandya shattered RR’s best batsmen when he sent back Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer.

Titans are enjoying so far their stellar maiden season and finished top of the table in the 10-team tournament with 10 wins in their 14 matches. In the Qualifier 2, the same teams had faced each other and Hardik’s men smashed the Royals by seven wickets in Kolkata. They are aiming for the same result in the finals aslo. Also, Titans are the favourites in their home ground and are having a significant psychological advantage over RR as well.
