Gujarat Titans convincingly defeated RR
Tata IPL 2022 Final was a one-sided affair where GT batters and bowlers didn’t give an inch to RR. Opting to bat first RR managed a below par 130-9 where the wrecker in chief was Hardik Pandya who took 3-17 in his 4 overs. In response to the 131 targets, RR’s bowlers tried to put pressure on bowling dot deliveries but they didn’t have runs on the board. GT Captain played a sensible knock of 34 runs as the pitch was misbehaving a lot. Later in the end Miller and Gill wrapped up the match & handed GT their maiden IPL title with more than an over left.
