IPL 2022, Match 67 RCB vs GT, Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans will be facing each other in the 67th match of IPL 2022, to be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. While RCB reached the eliminator last season, GT are playing in their inaugural season. When both teams faced each other earlier in the season, Gujarat Titans won by a six-wicket margin. While GT have already qualified for the playoffs as well as confirmed a top-two finish, a win is a must for RCB to enter the playoffs.

Despite RCB having a good season, the form of their former captain Virat Kohli has been an issue. However, his opening partner Faf du Plessis has been brilliant while Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, and Dinesh Karthik have been fabulous in the middle order. Wanindu Hasaranga and Harshal Patel have been the top bowlers of the team.

Though Gujarat Titans have a lower frequency of winning in the second half of the season, one positive is that both their openers Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill have been back to form. The skipper Hardik Pandya hasn’t been impressive in the second half. Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan, and Yash Dayal have been brilliant with the ball.
