Eden Gardens’ pitch is good for batting while spinners also enjoy nice support in the matches. The average 1st innings total in T20Is at the stadium is 155 while the average 2nd innings average total is 136.
Gujarat Titans will have to worry about Jos Buttler who scored a stormy 54 off 24 in the powerplay, the last time these two sides. Although there has been a downturn in his form in the second half of the season, you have to think that a massive innings is due for him.
RR will have to be wary of GT's finishing prowess, with them being the best finishers this season. Tewatia in the IPL averages 67 against left-arm pace and has struck at 188.70, scoring 134 in 71 deliveries, and RR have two in Trent Boult and Obed McCoy.
- Titans have won all their six chases in the final over - the most by a team in a season in IPL.
- RR used the fewest overs of spin in IPL 2021, and this year, sit on top of the spin charts.
- Chahal is the leading wicket-taker in death overs this season while Rashid is among the most economical bowlers in this phase.
Titans defeated Royals the only time they played each other earlier in the season. Eden, meanwhile, has not been kind to the Royals as they won just 2 matches out of 9 that they played in this venue. Can their luck change tonight? We'll find out.
In the last match against Chennai Super Kings, Ravichandran Ashwin returned unbeaten on 40 for 23, ensuring a comprehensive victory for the Royals which helped them seal the second spot in the points table.
Sanju Samson needs 2 catches to complete 50 IPL catches for the Royals as a wicketkeeper
Prasidh Krishna is 5 short of 50 wickets in the IPL
Ravichandran Ashwin is 22 runs away from completing 1000 T20 runs
Yuzvendra Chahal needs 1 wicket to become the most successful spinner in a single IPL season
The weather in Kolkata may turn out to be a spoilsport tonight. And in case that happens, IPL has a contingency plan in place. With the IPL moving to Kolkata for the playoffs and inclement weather forecast for the city, the IPL has issued certain guidelines in case of rain-interrupted games.While Gujarat Titans take on Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday, Lucknow Super Giants will play Royal Challengers Bangalore at the same venue the next day in the Eliminator. “The number of overs in the playoff match may, if necessary, be reduced so that each side has the opportunity to bat for five overs,” the IPL guidelines read. “For the Eliminator and each Qualifier playoff matches, in the event that it is not possible to schedule a five-over match to complete by the end of the extra time on the original day, the teams will, if conditions permit, play a Super Over to determine the winner of the relevant Eliminator or Qualifier match.” If the Super Over is not possible “the team that finished highest in the league table after the 70 matches of the regular season shall be declared the winner of the relevant playoff match or final,” it added.
David Miller vs Ashwin & Chahal: The southpaw has faced Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal in a combined 20 T20 innings, and has lost his wicket thrice to each of them. Miller has looked particularly ineffective against the leggie, having scored just 35 runs in six innings at an average of 11.7. Yuzi Chahal has been sensational for the Royals in the middle overs and has picked 14 wickets at the death - the most by any bowler this season. On the other hand, Ravi Ashwin’s arrival in the Powerplay continues to pay off, with the off-spinner either providing a breakthrough or simply stalling the run-flow. An intriguing match-up is on the cards!
Sanju Samson vs Rashid Khan: Given his fiery starts and the aggressive intent he’s shown this season, Sanju Samson will be looking to capitalise on his good touch with a big knock in this crucial fixture. His record against spinners is excellent, and his success against GT’s Rashid Khan comes as no surprise. In nine T20 innings against him, Sanju has scored 68 runs at an average of 68, having only been dismissed once. He also has a couple of IPL fifties to his name in Kolkata, making him the team’s most successful batter at this venue.
Eden Gardens have always been an iconic venue. Be it for the fans as well as the cricketers who have played here or who have wished to walk down its hallowed halls. Here's what it means to the players.
With the toss playing an important factor throughout the matches, every team were more or less keen to win it in order to dictate terms. Gujarat Titans, however, notched up an impressive record of losing the toss and winning the match.
A day before the Indian Premier League Qualifier 1 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals, both pitch and outfield looked first-class. Mukherjee spoke about how the surface would assist everyone: “Batsmen will be able to play on the up, fast bowlers will get purchase upfront and spinners will come into play later. There will be good bounce.” The curator has stuck to his template of preparing sporting pitches. Over the last seven years under his charge, the Eden surface has hardly ever proved to be a let-down.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the IPL Qualifier 1 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals from Eden Gardens Kolkata. Both teams boast of quality fast bowlers. Titans have Mohammed Shami, Alzarri Joseph and Lockie Ferguson. The Eden pitch should excite them to bend their backs. Royals’ counter is Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Sen (if he plays). As for batting, Titans would like to see consistency from Shubman Gill, while three successive single-digit scores notwithstanding, Jos Buttler remains Royals’ talisman with 629 runs from 14 matches. As regards spin, Royals hold a slight edge with the Chahal-Ashwin combo versus Rashid Khan. Wriddhiman Saha playing on home patch, with relationship strained with the CAB, offers an interesting sub-plot.
