Gujarat Titans are one of the IPL’s two new teams, and they’ve had a relatively straightforward road to the final, finishing first in the table and then winning Qualifier 1 to earn a spot in the summit showdown, which will be contested in front of their home fans. Gujarat Titans beat Rajasthan Royals in the Qualifier 1 at the Eden Gardens earlier this week.

The last time Rajasthan reached the final was in 2008, when Shane Warne, who passed away earlier this year, beat all odds to lead his team to IPL title victory in the inaugural season. As a result, Rajasthan will be hoping to pay Warne the ultimate tribute by winning their second title.
