IPL 2022 Qualifier-2 match will be played between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The match is to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rajasthan Royals had lost to Gujarat Titans in Qualifier-1. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore won the Eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants. Whichever team wins in both the teams will face Gujarat in the final. The losing team’s journey will come to an end. In such a situation, let’s have a look at those players who can prove to be game changers.
Josh Butler- Rajasthan opener batsman Jos Buttler scored 491 runs in the first 7 matches. It looked like he would break Virat Kohli’s record of most runs in a season with 973 runs. At present, his pal is in Orange Cap. He has made 718 in 15 matches so far. With the help of his innings of 88 runs, Rajasthan scored 188/6 in 20 overs against Gujarat. However, Team GT failed to win the match.
Sanju Samson – Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson scored 47 runs in 26 balls in Qualifier-1 against Gujarat. The season has been great for them. He has scored 421 runs in 15 matches at an average of 30.07 and strike rate of 150.36. During this he has scored two half-centuries.
Faf du Plessis – Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis was dismissed early in the Eliminator match against Lucknow Supergiants. He would like to do well in the match against Rajasthan. The right-handed batsman has the ability to play big innings and can get runs whenever he wants. He has scored 443 runs in 15 matches at an average of 31.64 and strike rate of 130.29. During this he has scored three half-centuries.
Yuzvendra Chahal- Yuzvendra Chahal has performed brilliantly this year. He currently has a purple cap. He has taken 26 wickets in 15 matches. Yuzvendra’s performance could prove to be a game-changer in the IPL 2022 qualifiers.
Harshal Patel – Harshal Patel bowled brilliantly in the Eliminator match against Lucknow. He showed why RCB spent huge sums of money to get him on board. He has taken 19 wickets so far. In the match against Rajasthan, his bowling in the death overs will be very important.
