Batters win you matches while bowlers win you trophy is a saying which fits well with Rajasthan Royals this season.

Gujarat Titans didn’t have to use Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan in 80% of their matches and top four of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, and Sherfane Rutherford have done the work for them this season. With a playoff spot almost secured, GT will now aim to finish in the top two, giving them a double chance to make it to the final.
