KOLKATA: Residents of Gujarat and Rajasthan frequently spend their get-aways at places of interest in the adjoining states. Yet, come Tuesday, the bonhomie, if any, won't be noticeable when Gujarat Titans face Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 of the IPL at the Eden Gardens here.
The Titans have previously demonstrated that 'huge competition experience' is a piece over-advertised term in sports as they made a smooth rush to turn into the first of the 10 groups to make the knockout stage, finishing off the table with 20 focuses from 14 matches in their lady IPL appearance.
The credit for a large part of the side's prosperity ought to go to captain Hardik Pandya, who had shown others how its done. Getting back in the saddle from a physical issue, Pandya made a nice showing with the ball, however it was his batting that had a major effect. Being the most elevated run-getter for his side, Pandya had frequently played the solitary hand in hauling them out of irredeemable circumstances. The Royals' research organization necessities to get their arrangement right to counter Pandya.
Essentially, Jos Butler will be at the forefront of GT's thoughts when they take the field. The opener put breezes to RR sails, hitting three centuries ahead of schedule in the competition. Albeit this IPL's most elevated run-getter had quieted down over the beyond couple of games, GT will in any case really like to see the rear of the Englishman quick.
Captain Pandya will depend on his fundamental bowling weapon Mohammed Shami's experience with Eden track to make the early leap forward. The Bengal pacer has been the most noteworthy wicket-taker in the Powerplay in this IPL with 11 wickets. Pandya will likewise very much want to take inputs from a fit-again neighborhood kid Wriddhiman Saha, as well as expectation for runs from him, as the side's top-request has not terminated well this season. A decent beginning is significant since Gujarat have lost three of their last five games.
Yet again pandya's authority quality, which has been a disclosure in this IPL, will be set to test against a side having various power-hitters like captain Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal and Shimron Hetmyer. RR had involved Ravichandran Ashwin as a floater well, with the all-rounder in any event, assuming the part of a finisher for them.

Playing on a new Eden track, the Titans may be enticed to play both Lockie Ferguson and Alzarri Joseph and all things considered, they should supplant a failing Matthew Wade and select Abhinav Manohar at No. 3.
Notwithstanding, bowling could have the effect between the different sides. While RR have more assortment, the vast majority of the GT bowlers have needed consistency. The RR bowling has been driven well by Yuzvendra Chahal and Ashwin who have arisen as the best twist assault in the opposition getting 38 wickets.

Notwithstanding the forecast of dissipated rainstorms on Tuesday, the groundstaff is certain of a full match. Be that as it may, if there should be an occurrence of a complete waste of time where even the Super Over is preposterous, GT being the highest level side, will procure a pass to the last.

SWOT ANALYSIS: Gujarat Titans versus Rajasthan Royals
GUJARAT TITANS
Qualities: The unexpected bundle of the association. Marvelous assortment of coordinate victors with both bat and ball. Dominated matches from sad circumstances with slick people Tewatia and David Miller. In Rashid Khan, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Shami, Alzarri Joseph and Lockie Ferguson, they have genuine wicket-taking choices.
Shortcomings: Shubman Gill's irregularity at the top. Hardik climbing the request and Wriddhiman Saha's prosperity as a going after batsman in the last nine games, take care of for it fairly. In crunch games, a small scale breakdown could drive the dreaded finishers to play moderately which could mess everything up.
Open doors: If they win, they will be able to play before their home group at Motera which could go about as a threatening twelfth man.
Dangers: Hardik's wellness and absence of value turn bowling backing to Rashid. R Sai Kishore intrigued on a drained Wankhede pitch. Will a new Eden track with downpour around, offer him as much assistance?

RAJASTHAN ROYALS
Qualities: The twist pair of R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal. They have gotten 38 scalps as a couple. In the center overs, the two of them can strike and smother. As a matter of fact, Samson has likewise involved Ashwin in the Powerplay and Chahal in the passing with extraordinary achievement. Ashwin's structure as a batsman and game-mindfulness, has been a disclosure.
Shortcomings: Jos Buttler's dissipating structure. Subsequent to getting going with a bang (three hundreds out of seven games), the Orange Cap holder with 629 runs really can't buy a run. The final part has seen him excused multiple times in the initial six overs. Royals need the Buttler of March and April back. Samson's absence of consistency is a concern as well.
Amazing open doors: For captain Samson to discredit the Indian selectors (they didn't pick him for SA T20Is) by playing match-dominating thumps in matches that matter and agree with his position to its most memorable last after 2008. Couldn't it be the ideal accolade for the principal Royal? The late Shane Warne.
Dangers: The seamers have spilled runs in the demise and both Prasidh Krishna and Trent Boult have not been strong in the Powerplays too of late. A collapse at this stage could put Ashwin and Chahal under extreme tension which isn't required.
