If RCB win the final, they will become the third team to successfully defend their IPL title after CSK in 2011 and MI in 2020. The Royal Challengers had a relatively easier path to the final after topping the points table and winning Qualifier 1 against GT.
On his YouTube channel, Kris Srikkanth said that the defending champions were favourites and no matter who won, it would be a one-sided match. He also laid out the perfect strategy that GT needed to follow if they wanted to win.
He will demolish them- Kris Srikkanth on RCB captain
Srikkanth then made his predictions about the final and said that Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar held the key to both teams' chances. Srikkanth said that if Patidar got going, then GT would not find it easy to stop him or his team. Patidar is coming off a breathtaking innings of 93* from just 33 balls with 9 sixes.
"If Rabada and Siraj don't get early wickets and Rashid Khan has to bowl to Rajat Patidar, he will get smashed to all parts of the ground by Patidar. Prasidh Krishna might be the ideal option for Patidar, but he hasn't been in great form this season and has been impressive only in patches," he added.
