Rajasthan Royals will be eyeing their second Indian Premier League title when they take on Gujarat Titans in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. After finishing seventh last season, RR retained the just three players -- Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal -- heading into the mega auction. The Royals then had a busy auction, acquiring the likes of Shimron Hetmyer (Rs 8.5 crore), Trent Boult (Rs 8 crore), Yuzvendra Chahal (Rs 6.5 crore), Prasidh Krishna (Rs 10 crore) among others.
They finished the IPL 2022 league phase second on the points table behind GT, winning nine of their 14 games.
In the playoffs, RR lost to GT in Qualifier 1, before Jos Buttler's fourth century of the season powered them to an easy win over RCB in Qualifier 2.
