Gujarat Titans clinched the Indian Premier League title in their debut season, comprehensively beating Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the IPL final. Central to Gujarat Titans' victory on Sunday in the IPL 2022 final was captain fantastic Hardik Pandya. The Indian all-rounder first produced a stunning spell of bowling, taking three wickets for just 17 runs to help his team restrict Rajasthan to 130 for nine in 20 overs.

Rajasthan Royals star Jos Buttler was left distraught after his dismissal in the IPL 2022 final against Gujarat Titans. The Royals won the toss and opted to bat, but were set back by Yashasvi Jaiswal's early wicket. Buttler helped rebuild with captain Sanju Samson, but the latter too fell in the ninth over. With the onus on the season's leading run-getter to help the team put up a big score, Buttler looked to get going, but he was dismissed by Hardik Pandya for 39. He looked visibly angry at getting out and was seen tossing away his helmet in frustration as he walked back to the dug-out
The IPL 2022 final was a spectacle to behold at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and it was the home team -- Gujarat Titans that lifted the title after defeating Rajasthan Royals in the final by seven wickets.
