On Tuesday (May 24), Gujarat Titans will face Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2022 Qualifier 1, with both teams aiming for a spot in the IPL final on May 29.
The Gujarat Titans, headed by Hardik Pandya, finished first in the league phase and will face the Rajasthan Royals, led by Sanju Samson, who finished second after the league matches.

We can expect a fantastic contest if they live up to their billing.
