Hence, both teams will like to bat second at this pitch in the all-important Final.

Star bowler of the match

Rashid Khan is a big match player and although he didn’t pick too many wickets but he was one of the most economical bowlers of this season.

Rashid Khan will be the star bowler of the final.

Star batsman of the match

Jos Buttler is looking unstoppable in the playoffs as he scored 89 and 106* runs respectively in the two Qualifier games for RR.

The orange cap holder has scored 827 runs this season and he is expected to score another big knock in the final.

Star Wicketkeeper of the match

Sanju Samson smacked 47 runs in the 1st Qualifier against Gujrat Titans.

He is the second-highest run-scorer for RR in this tournament and he will be the star wicketkeeper in this match.

Star all-rounder of the match

Hardik Pandya played a match-winning knock of 40 runs in the 1st Qualifier for Rajasthan.

Pandya is also bowling some tight overs and he will be the star all-rounder in the most important game of the season.

Who will win?

 Both teams have many big players in their line-ups but it all depends on controlling their nerves in the all-important final.

Rajasthan Royals have a strong bowling attack while Gujrat Titans won most of their matches by teamwork.

Gujrat Titans have some big match-winners and finishers in their batting lineup while Rajasthan Royals will highly depend on Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson which is their biggest weak point.

Hence, we predict that Gujrat Titans will be the champions of IPL 2022.

Simon Katich Criticizes George Bailey’s Call to Axe Nathan McSweeney from Australian Team

Simon Katich has sharply criticized George Bailey’s decision to drop Nathan McSweeney from the Australian team. Simon Katich believes this call was a poor decision, especially after McSweeney’s consistent performance. Bailey’s choice has sparked discussions about the selection process and the reasoning behind it.

McSweeney’s exclusion has raised eyebrows, with many questioning why a player with such promise was dropped. Katich, in particular, feels that Bailey’s decision to axe McSweeney is questionable, especially when compared to the struggles of other top-order batters. Both teams in the recent series have faced challenges with their top-order batting, but the Australian selectors decided to make this change.

Katich’s comments reflect growing concerns about the selection strategy and the impact of dropping McSweeney. He pointed out that many players have struggled with their form, yet McSweeney was chosen to be left out. This, Katich argues, highlights the inconsistency in the decision-making process.

Top-order batters in both teams have faced difficulties, with neither side managing to produce consistent runs. Despite these struggles, the decision to remove McSweeney has left fans and experts questioning the rationale behind the move. Some believe that dropping McSweeney might have been premature, given the form of other players.

Katich’s criticism brings attention to the broader issue of player selections in international cricket. As teams prepare for future series, these decisions are likely to influence the direction of Australian cricket. The focus now shifts to how Bailey and the selectors will handle similar challenges in upcoming matches.

The debate continues, with many calling for more transparent and consistent decision-making regarding player selections in international cricket.

Steve Smith and Travis Head discuss BCCI's influence in cricket, raising debates about power and fairness in the sport.

Steve Smith recently commented on BCCI’s influence in cricket, sparking debates about its significant role in global governance. During a media interaction, Smith remarked that the International Cricket Council (ICC) appears less powerful than the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). This statement drew attention, prompting Smith to clarify his intentions quickly.

Smith acknowledged that the BCCI holds a dominant position in cricket due to its financial and organizational contributions. He pointed out how the Indian board influences key decisions that shape the sport. However, Smith softened his tone, emphasizing that his comments were not meant as criticism of either the ICC or the BCCI.

Travis Head, Smith’s Australian teammate, also addressed BCCI’s influence in cricket. Head humorously referred to the Indian board as “rulers,” recognizing its ability to set global standards in cricket. He highlighted the board’s pivotal role in defining policies and establishing benchmarks for the sport.

These remarks have reignited discussions about power dynamics in international cricket. Critics argue that the BCCI’s financial clout often overshadows smaller cricketing nations. They believe this imbalance can hinder fair representation in decision-making. On the other hand, supporters emphasize the BCCI’s critical role in expanding cricket’s global reach and popularity.

As India hosts the ICC Cricket World Cup, the spotlight remains on the BCCI’s influence in cricket. The board’s central role in shaping schedules, policies, and trends continues to drive conversations about equity in the sport. Smith and Head’s remarks reflect ongoing concerns about maintaining fairness and inclusivity in global cricket governance.

Their comments underscore the need for balanced representation to ensure a fair future for cricket.
