NEW DELHI: Debutants Gujarat Titans were crowned the Indian Premier League (IPL) champions on Sunday after they beat Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the final in Ahmedabad.
Nobody gave them a chance but Gujarat Titans, bucking all pre-tournament predictions, surprised everyone by lifting the Indian Premier League title in a dream maiden season after a seven-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in the final here on Sunday. Gujarat's highly-rated bowling attack, led by skipper Hardik Pandya (3/17) himself, limited a formidable Rajasthan Royals batting unit to 130 for nine after losing the toss. Shubman Gill and David Miller remained unbeaten on 45 and 32, respectively, to complete an emphatic win for their team.
Jos Buttler of Rajasthan Royals had to be satisfied with the runners-up medal in IPL 2022 as his team lost by 7 wickets to Gujarat Titans in the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday. But the Englishman finished on top of the coveted Orange Cap list as he ended the season as the highest run-getter, scoring 863 runs in 17 matches. He is now the second highest scorer in a single IPL season behind Virat Kohli's haul of 900-plus in the 2016 season.
Hardik Pandya and his Gujarat Titans team produced a bowling masterclass in the IPL 2022 final to restrict Rajasthan Royals to a below par total of 130/9 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson decided to bat after winning the toss but the decision didn't work in their favour as Gujarat, led from the front by Hardik's fine spell of 3/17, tightened the screws on the Royals and never allowed them to get away.
Jos Buttler's magnificent season in IPL 2022 came to an end with a decent effort in the summit clash against Gujarat Titans as he was dismissed for 39 by Titans skipper Hardik Pandya. Buttler was holding the Royals innings together with wickets falling at the other end, but Hardik bowled a great delivery in the channel outside the off stump and managed to get a faint edge, which was caught by wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha.
Hardik Pandya led from the front in the IPL 2022 final against Rajasthan Royals, producing a stunning spell of bowling to put Gujarat Titans in the driver's seat. Having lost the toss, Gujarat Titans came under some early pressure with young Yashasvi Jaiswal chancing his arm. Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson then steadied RR before Hardik Pandya removed his counterpart. Buttler seemed to be headed for another big score but was stopped short in his tracks by Hardik. The Indian all-rounder then got another big fish in the form of Shimron Hetmyer to end with figures of three for 17 off his four overs.
