IPL 2022 (T-20) final: GT batsmen Seems discussing strategy

Sanju Samson broke a longstanding tradition by batting first after winning the toss. The decision might have been costly as the entire batting of Rajasthan stumbled upon the tight bowling and fielding of GT.


Maybe RR’s skipper strategy was different. The final can be tense. Chasing a big total by the fielding side in the final is likely to be stress-filled. After winning the toss, Samson might therefore choose to bat first.

RR came out to bat first after winning the toss. Opening batsmen, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi were playing coolly. But after a few overs, Gujarat’s fast bowlers build up pressure. First, Jaiswal hit two sixes while changing the situation. Then, with the greed of going for a sixer again, he skied the ball and was caught by Sai Kishore in the fourth over.
