With the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season in full swing, fans and pundits have already started predicting the four franchises to make it to the play-offs. Former New Zealand and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Daniel Vettori decided to pick his playoff picks for IPL 2022 and surprised many with his selection. Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, he said, “Rajasthan, the two new franchises and RCB.”
“I think they played well enough to be in this position now.”
“I think the balance in their squads will be able to get them there,” he added.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) are currently third in the IPL 2022 Points Table, with 10 points from seven games, including five wins and two defeats. Meanwhile, debutant Gujarat Titans (GT) tops the table with 12 points from seven games (six wins and one loss).
