Super Striker of the Season – Jos Buttler Opener Gill remained unbeaten on 45, sealing Gujarat’s victory with a six and with 11 balls to spare. IPL 2022 Award Winners: 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. Opting to bat first, 2008 champions Rajasthan never got going and posted a below-par 130-9 with Jos Buttler, this IPL’s leading scorer, top scoring for them with a rather subdued 39.

Gujarat Titans' players and coaches react to their IPL 2022 triumph.

I wanted to be there [batting] till the end this time and that was the talk with coaches and we came over the line." The franchise showed faith in David, me and Hardik. Now we've won, so nothing left to say." Everyone feels welcome and you can see the performances." "[Titans behind the scenes:] A lot of the time, we won the game, but we always spoke about what are the things we missed out on and how we can do better. first year [for us in the IPL] to win the championship is very special." I have been in this kind of situation before, so for my team, I thought that it's the best position [No. 4] for me to bat, so that all the other batsmen can come and express themselves. "[On the final:] We adjusted ourselves very quickly with the wicket. "[On team combination:] Me and Ashu pa [Ashish Nehra] are similar in terms of wanting to play five proper bowlers, who can win you matches all day. this is for the generation to come, everyone will remember that this was the team who started this journey and… Most of the time, I have seen in T20 cricket, it's a batters' game but bowlers win you games." "Me and Ashu pa [Ashish Nehra] are similar in terms of wanting to play five proper bowlers, who can win you matches all day... So, for me it was all about sticking to the right lengths and asking the batters to play a good shot rather than me trying something and giving a boundary.

Rajasthan Royals batted first and were restricted to 130 for nine and Gujarat chased it down, scoring 133, but Jos Buttler finished as the IPL's top scorer.

“Batting comes first to me, it’s been always close to my heart,” player-of-the-match Pandya said after hitting three boundaries and a six in his knock at No 4. But Gujarat’s depth in the middle-order batting — the team topped the table with 20 points from 10 wins during the league stage — saw them home. We believe quality bowlers win you the tournament, so we invested in them ... but there is a lot to learn.” Pandya had Shimron Hetmyer (11) caught off his own bowling in the last ball of a terrific four-over spell. Jos Buttler made only 39 off 35 balls but still finished as the tournament’s top scorer with 863 runs, and Samson scored 14. Pandya grabbed three for17 with impeccable medium-fast bowling to restrict Rajasthan to 130 for nine after Sanju Samson won the toss and chose to bat.

IPL 2022 Final: Hardik Pandya spoke in detail about his match-winning performance in the title clash.

Today was the day, where I saved the best for the best in terms of bowling,” said Hardik. For me, my team is the most important, whichever team I play for. I was saving for the best.

Ranveer spiced it up with an iconic dialogue from another movie ‘KGF’. Khiladi Akshay Kumar was seen enjoying the dance performance by Ranveer Singh. “Let the emotions of the past sink in," he said. IPL 2022 Closing Ceremony: It was a full house at the Narendra Modi Stadium as the attendance marked 1,04,859.

Jos Buttler dominated the IPL 2022 season end awards ceremony as the Rajasthan Royals swept top honours including the Orange Cap, IPL 2022 MVP and purple ...

Umran Malik was the find of the season as he consistently bowled deliveries over 150 kmph with ease. The 31-year-old also won awards for most boundaries hit in the tournament (83) as well as the most sixes (45). The right-hander was also given the award for Powerplayer of the season. Along with Jos Buttler, Yuzvendra Chahal was also instrumental in helping Rajasthan Royals reach the final of IPL 2022. The 36-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman played the role of the finisher to perfection. LSG cricketer Evin Lewis was awarded the catch of the season award for his one-handed effort against Kolkata Knight Riders during the league stage. The Hardik Pandya-led team won the low scoring match by 7 wickets dashing Royal's hope of winning the title for their second time.

Rajasthan Royals' Jos Buttler won a host of awards, including the Orange cap and the player of the season.

His team mate Yuzvendra Chahal finally took a decisive lead over Royal Challengers Bangalore's Wanindu Hasaranga when he dismissed Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya in the final. And even while the Royals lost the final, it was two of their players who won Orange Cap and Purple Cap. One of them, Jos Buttler ended up winning the player of the season award as well as he went past David Warner for the second most runs scored by any player in a season. Gujarat Titans, who were one of the two new teams to join the tournament this season, beat Rajasthan Royals for the third time in the season, by seven wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in the final on Sunday to win their maiden trophy.

Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya leapfrogged MS Dhoni as the player with the second most titles in IPL history.

Hardik Pandya may have failed to break Rohit Sharma’s record for the most IPL titles, but he did equal MS Dhoni’s special record in the competition. Hardik Pandya, however, pipped CSK skipper MS Dhoni and former Mumbai Indians pacer Lasith Malinga, both of whom have won the IPL title four times each. Overall, Hardik Pandya won his fifth IPL title during the weekend and joined his former Mumbai Indians teammates Kieron Pollard and Ambati Rayudu in second place as the men who have the most IPL trophies to their name.

Gujarat Titans won the Indian Premier League title in their maiden season as they beat Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the final.

Rajasthan Royals who finished as the runner-up were also presented a check of ₹12.50 crore as the runner up. The winning team Gujarat Titans got a check of ₹20 crore as they were the champions. Gujarat Titans beat the Rajasthan team by 7 wickets to win their IPL trophy debut season.

Questions around his fitness, his bowling, his captaincy, his new No. 4 spot, have all been answered and how.

The next ball was Hardik's last of the day, and it was back to basics: into the pitch, while angling the ball across the left-hand batter. He had performed a steadying role at No. 4 all through the season; all that remained was to do it one last time. Before this season, he hadn't had too many opportunities to begin a T20 innings with more than 10 overs remaining, but at Titans, he has adopted that role out of necessity and relished it. That sequence included a pair of offcutters that gripped and beat the outside edge, and a 143kph bouncer that left Padikkal late on a hook. A bit of extra bounce, possibly, and a bit of nibble off the seam - neither in any way pronounced - caused him to edge behind. One ball later, Hardik bowled his one full ball of the evening, and Hetmyer opened his bat face to steer it between wicketkeeper and short third man. Starting the 15th over having given away only seven runs in his first three, Hardik suffered his only dose of punishment on the day. By then, Hardik had tormented Devdutt Padikkal as well, bowling seven balls to the left-hand batter and conceding only a leg bye. "[At the] right time, I wanted to show what I have worked hard for, and today was the day, from my bowling point of view, I saved the best for the best [stage]," Hardik said during the post-match presentation. The ball kicked up awkwardly, and Samson skewed it to backward point. And oh, Hardik had never captained a team at senior level; how would he lead this group of players who had never played with each other before? He had been appointed captain of a new IPL franchise, Gujarat Titans, and it was still not known what role he would play for them.

All GT captain Hardik Pandya did was smile after Shubman Gill hit the IPL-winning six. When Hardik slowly made his way into the playing area after ...

Hardik after all had credited his wife and son for his calm demeanour throughout the tournament. GT won the match with 7 wickets and 11 balls to spare. The long emotional hug and the broad smiles said a lot. - All GT captain Hardik Pandya did was smile after Shubman Gill hit the IPL-winning six. Hardik did not show a lot of emotion in the entire tournament. A fitter, stronger, matured and improved Hardik Pandya was the main ingredient in Gujarat Titans' lip-smacking delicacies served in IPL 2022.

His appointment as captain may have raised eyebrows, but Sanju has taken his game and Rajasthan Royals to the next level, proving that added responsibility ...

When he was young and growing up in Delhi, he got hurt when people used to make fun of his kitbag when waiting for the bus. He appears in a Gillette ad, in Kerala peers from the ad hoardings of a steel company that promises the sturdiness and style of Sanju’s batting. The lockdown unburdened the pressure of expectations he had thrust on himself. He will become Tendulkar)’,” he tells Gaurav Kapoor in an episode of Breakfast with Champions. He was distraught and had thought of quitting the game when he failed to get a break in Kerala. The Kolkata Knight Riders stint went awry. And jokes that someday he would act in a Basil move. A happy player makes for a happy captain and a happy captain makes for a happy team. He has shown a lot of passion and hunger to take on this testing role of captaincy. As if captaincy was the magic trick he was waiting for to make his life and career more meaningful. The outlines of Samson’s captaincy ideas are getting well defined, the rhyme and rhythms more tuneful and steadily, the structures and syntax in place, he is setting a Sanju template of leadership, based on the ideals of collectivism, free-spiritedness and hard work. Thus, eliminating the scepticism that drummed when Samson was appointed captain — questions ranging from whether leadership would burden him or whether he would crumble, or whether he was indeed capable — he has, more than blending into the new role, notched up a gear or two. Warne needed that triumph to prove to Australians that he was the best captain Australia never had. For a long time, his mind used to go blank in the adulation of Dhoni when playing against him.

1. Jasprit Bumrah (India) - 15 wickets for Mumbai Indians at an economy rate of 7.18. · 2. Tim David (Singapore/Australia) - 186 runs from eight matches for ...

Narine finished the tournament as one of only two bowlers to concede less than a run a ball and will definitely be a force in Australia if he can continue in that rich vein of form. The veteran off-spinner is in excellent form and looks like he is determined to make up for missing out on playing for West Indies at the most recent ICC T20 World Cup last year. It's likely Hazlewood will partner left-armer Mitchell Starc with the new ball for Australia at the ICC T20 World Cup and that is a formidable duo to try and score off. Rashid's strike rate with the bat at the IPL (206.81) is testament to this fact and you just know he will make an impact one way or another at the T20 World Cup. 8. Josh Hazlewood (Australia) - 20 wickets for Royal Challengers Bangalore at an average of 18.85 and economy rate of 8.10. When he first arrived on the scene Rabada was somewhat wayward with the new ball at times, but a more mature Rabada can definitely make an impact for the Proteas in Australia with his control and consistency a clear threat. This was often the case during the IPL - and is arguably more regular at international level - with Rashid's economy rate under seven runs per over and easily inside the top 10 for all bowlers at the tournament. It was a strange case of less is more for the highly-talented David, who could well be called up for Australia and given a chance to impress in the lead-up to the ICC T20 World Cup later this year. It's amazing to think that the towering right-armer is only 27 and could still be on the improve if his performances at the IPL are closely scrutinised. Livingstone stood out in more ways the one at the IPL and should be ready to produce on the big stage in Australia if he can continue his recent upward curve. While Australia already have a bevy of star batters at their disposal, David's skillset is slightly different to what they currently have and the 26-year-old could be a surprise packet at the World Cup if he can grasp his chance. We take a look at 10 players that excelled during the recently completed Indian Premier League that are likely to be a force at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.

Cricket News: Hardik Pandya on Sunday said his latest triumph, while leading first-timers Gujarat Titans, is something the coming generations will talk ...

All the youngsters, seniors played well as a team, I am proud of my team," Samson said. "In good teams you have a lot of trust in everyone.

While two Australians - David Warner (848 in 17 innings, 2016) and Mike Hussey (733 in 17 innings, 2013) - also figure on the Top-5 list, people were quick to point out why Cricket Australia was highlighting the achievements of an England cricketer and a league that is played in India. Virat's mountain of runs in 2016 - 973 in 16 innings in 2016 for RCB - continues to be the highest by a batter in an IPL season, and Buttler (863 runs in 17 games) missed it by a big margin. Cricket Australia was on Monday trolled for posting an image of charismatic Rajasthan Royals batter Jos Buttler, after the 32-year-old England cricketer emerged the second-highest run-getter ever in a single Indian Premier League (IPL) season, scoring an astronomical 863 runs in 17 games.

Coming to the match, after posting a low-scoring target of 131, Rajasthan had to produce special effort with the ball to get back in the game. Just grown from strength to strength," added Miller.

As soon as Gujarat Titans registered a comfortable win over Rajasthan Royals, some fans alleged that the IPL final was fixed.

Today was the day where I saved the best for the best in terms of bowling,” Hardik told Star Sports. If I had to sacrifice and have a worse season and my team wins, I’ll take that,” the junior Pandya added. For me, my team is the most important, whichever team I play for. I was saving for the best. As Rajasthan’s batsmen struggled for consistency, they could only set a target of 131 for the home team. No joy in IPL this time most boring IPL final,” a cricket fanatic wrote on the micro-blogging platform. Results in the Indian Premier League (IPL) have often been associated with match-fixing. “Is this the way a BCCI official should celebrate on a individual team’s victory, where is professionalism and neutrality. “On any given day, I will take the trophy rather than me batting at 160-170 strike rate. I worked very hard for it. I have always been that kind of individual. Hardik was elated with his display in the final as he said that he had saved “his best” for the last.

When Wriddhiman Saha was asked about how he felt to have been part of the champion side, he took to opportunity to give it back to all the critics.

Not many gave him a chance in T20 cricket despite a rather decent record especially with the bat in the powerplay. But the Titans proved doubters wrong through each of their 16 games this season and subsequently left them stunned with the IPL title glory. But how many actually expected Gujarat Titans in the final at the start of the tournament?
