The final of the Tata IPL 2022 is going to be played between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

The stadium was full of fans. Over a lakh, people gathered at the stadium to support their favorite teams, including some of the big Bollywood actors like Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh, who also marked their presence in the finals.

The stage was set for the thrilling finals. The fans were ready to witness the finals in the stadium after two long years of the pandemic.

Rajasthan won the toss and elected to bat first and set up a high score. The start was a bit slow for the openers as the bowlers of GT were not letting them score many runs, and then some great shots started to come from the young and talented Yashasvi Jaiswal. While trying to clear the boundary, he gave an easy catch to Ravisrinivasan. Then the crowd witnessed the fastest bowl of the IPL 2022 by Lockie Ferguson, bowling at 157.3 kmph.

Buttler was looking good from one side as he was also clearing boundaries, but on the other hand, Sanju Samson gave another catch to Ravisrinivasan as RR lost their second wicket. It wasn’t long enough until Rashid gave RR the third breakthrough.

RR was in immense trouble as in a short time, their batsmen were getting out. All eyes were on Jos as he was the man who could bring some change in the total as Hardik took his wicket too.

The outstanding bowling performance by GT, namely Hardik Pandya taking three wickets and Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore taking two wickets, stopped the RR at a low total of 130 runs for the loss of nine wickets.

It was time for the Second Innings of GT to chase down the low score and win the IPL trophy in their debut season. The RR bowlers started strong, but they blew an opportunity to catch up in the first over. In the second over itself, Prasidh Krishna cleaned and bowed Wriddhiman Shah. And soon, Trent Boult gave the second breakthrough to GT. Hardik Pandya and Shubham Gill took the charge and started to form a partnership which was a must for them to stay in the game. The partnership of 63 runs by both of them kept their chances of winning the game and increased the percentage.

The great finisher for GT, David Miller, came out to bat. The knock of 32 runs in just 19 balls by him made them win the final. As Shubham Gill finished off in style with a six, GT won their first TATA IPL.

Hardik Pandya was selected as the Man Of The Match for his contribution in both batting and bowling.

As the IPL ended, Jos Buttler of RR was awarded the Player of the Tournament and the Orange Cap for scoring the maximum runs of 863 by an individual in IPL 2022, and Yuzvendra Chahal of RR was awarded the Purple Cap for taking the most number of wickets, 27 in IPL 2022.
