The IPL 2022 final between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals was special in more ways than one.
Hardik Pandya had a season to remember in IPL 2022 as he guided the debutants to the title with a comprehensive win in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in front of home fans, who had packed the stadium. Pandya reserved his best for the last as he bowled a miserly spell of 3/17, picking up the key Rajasthan Royals wickets of Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya is being tipped as a future India captain after leading an unfancied debut team to victory in the world's most valuable cricket tournament. Pandya's Gujarat Titans thrashed Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the Indian Premier League final on Sunday, with the skipper taking three wickets and scoring 34 runs in front of nearly 105,000 fans in the world's biggest cricket stadium.
Pandya was quietly caressing the IPL trophy flap as one of the BCCI employees was inscribing the name of new champions 'Gujarat Titans'. It seemed as if an indulgent father was tousling his son's hair with love. That trophy was indeed Pandya's labour of love. For all the hard work put in after some years of circumspection and uncertainties. We all saw it but he dealt with it.
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. Hardik then played a handy cameo to steady the ship in the chase after GT had lost two early wickets. Following GT's IPL triumph, captain Pandya and head coach Ashish Nehra had a fun chat, a snippet of which was shared on the IPL official Twitter handle.
Ravichandran Ashwin is a legend in his own right but he still needs to think about improvement and bowl the conventional off-break deliveries more frequently, feels Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara. The 36-year-old veteran off-spinner, India's second highest Test wicket taker (442), is known to experiment a lot with his bowling. He often bowls the conventional off-breaks lesser compared to the carrom balls that goes away from the right handers.
