Jos Buttler won the Orange Cap and MVP of the IPL 2022; Yuzvendra Chahal got the Purple Cap.
The final was played in the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the largest cricket stadium in the world.
RR captain Sanju Samson won the toss for the second consecutive time and decided to bat first in the IPL 2022 final.
This decision pretty much came back to haunt him as only Jos Buttler (39) and Yashasvi Jaiswal went past the 20-run mark as RR managed only 130/9 in 20 overs. For GT, Hardik Pandya shined with 3/17, while R Sai Kishore picked 2 wickets and Rashid Khan took 1/18.
After losing early wickets of Wriddhiman Saha (5) and Matthew Wade (8), GT saw opener Shubman Gill (45*) and Hardik Pandya (34) adding 63 runs for the 3rd wicket in the chase.
Shubman Gill continued on after Pandya fell in the 14th over, and then David Miller hit a quick 32* in 19 balls to ease the nerve. Gill then hit a six to win the match for GT and make them the IPL 2022 winners.
There were many amazing individual performances from many cricketers and many match-winning and individual moments of glory throughout the tournament and many of them were honored after the final match.
