After two months and 73 matches, we are finally looking towards the climax. Rajasthan Royals were the first team to lift the IPL trophy. On the other hand is Gujarat Titans who are looking to achieve the same feat which RR did 15 years ago.
Gujarat Titans are chasing a dream that only appears once in the lifetime of a franchise. They stand against an opponent who is looking to restore their long lost glory. Rajasthan Royals has struggled to live up to the expectations of their fans after the success they tasted back in 2008. Sanju Samson will become the first captain to lead RR into their second final. After years of endeavour, Rajasthan has found a way to spread its wings in the open wide sky.
Gujarat has made their place in the hearts of the IPL fans within a single season. Their sheer level of dedication and resolve is the reason for the number of victories they have had in this season.
Their last encounter ended with the Gujarat Titans victory. This time Rajasthan Royals will look to turn the tables around. Playing in the IPL final is different from playing a play-off fixture. IP final has a different dimension to it. The adrenalin rush, passion among the fans, and nerves kicking in make it a completely different fixture than any other match. All your efforts can be undone in a single match. Moments will pass through your eyes as you reach the last bits of the game. Realization slowly starts to kick in with every passing second. This clash will not be anything like you have ever seen before.
