Matthew Wade is an IPL title winner after Hardik Pandya and David Miller star for Gujarat as they thrashed Rasjasthan Royals in the decider.

Opting to bat first, Rajasthan never got going and posted a below-par 9-130.

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.

Gujarat Titans won the IPL 2022 after defeating Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

My goals are to play my role for the team and try and react on the day regarding what the game is asking me to do," Buttler said. All the youngsters, seniors played well as a team, I am proud of my team," Samson said. "For me my team is the most important. My team comes first for me." Asked about his bowling, he said, "Wanted to show at the right time what I've worked hard for. The coming generations will talk about it," Hardik said.

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.

They then completed the paltry 131-run chase in just 18.1 overs making the finale a one-sided affair.

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.

Shubman Gill hit a six off the first ball of the 19th over to seal a seven-wicket win for Gujarat Titans in the IPL final against the Rajasthan Royals.

The partnership between the pair was on 47 off 29 balls at the end of the match. Gill pulled Rajasthan Royals' (RR) Obed McCoy over deep square leg to sent the colossal Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad into celebrations as it meant that it was their home team who won the title. Gill took off his helmet and let out a roar after the shot sailed over the boundary.

- When Shubman Gill pulled Obed McCoy for a huge six over long leg to lead GT to a 7-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Ashish Nehra etched his name on the history books. He's a high-profile player in India but he's incredibly humble, wanting to learn as a leader and engage with his players which I think is really, really important. Nehra was well-supported by former South Africa opener Gary Kirsten, who was a part of the GT support staff as a mentor. I’ve loved working with Ashish (Nehra), he’s really strong tactically - trying to put a gameplan together on the fly is not easy," told the IPL host broadcaster. If Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya was their hero on the field, off the field it was the support staff led by former India pacer Ashish Nehra that played a crucial role in GT winning the IPL title in their first attempt. The former left-arm pacer became the first Indian head coach to win the IPL. In all the previous 14 editions of the Indian Premier League, the title-winning side had a foreign head coach but Nehra broke the pattern with GT this year.
