Former England spinner Graeme Swann, ahead of the Qualifier 1 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals, said that the Sanju Samson and Co. will emerge victorious in the match and become the first team to book a spot in the IPL 2022 final.

He added that the Gujarat Titans and the Rajasthan Royals are the two best teams in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League and they could face off each other in the final.

“Rajasthan Royals will win that first game (Qualifier 1) against Gujarat Titans. I honestly think first and second, i.e. Gujarat and Rajasthan are the two best sides in this season and they could end up facing each other in that final,” the ex-cricketer said on Star Sports show Cricket Live. 

Notably, table-toppers Gujarat Titans became the first team to officially qualify for the Indian Premier League 2022 playoffs and they won 10 games in the league stage.

Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals reached second place after the win over Chennai Super Kings in their last league stage game.
