Rajasthan Royals will be eyeing their second Indian Premier League title when they face Gujarat Titans in the final on Sunday at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After finishing seventh last season, RR kept just three players – Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal – en route to the mega sale. The Royals then had a busy auction, buying the likes of Shimron Hetmyer (Rs 8.5 crore), Trent Boult (Rs 8 crore), Yuzvendra Chahal (Rs 6.5 crore), Prasidh Krishna (Rs 10 crore).
They finished the IPL 2022 competition stage second on the points list behind GT, winning nine of their 14 matches.
In the playoffs, RR lost to GT in Qualifier 1, before Jos Buttler’s fourth century of the season took them to an easy win over RCB in Qualifier 2.
