The IPL 2022 Closing Ceremony was followed by the grand finale, where the debutant Gujarat Titans stole the show and went home with the title in their very first season of the cash-rich league. They were clinical in all the departments and the Rajasthan Royals were easily outclassed by Gujarat. Though Rajasthan couldn’t win the trophy, they went away with lots of awards. Jos Buttler won the Orange Cap while Yuzvendra Chahal won the Purple Cap for the 15th season.
Rajasthan Royals were restricted to a below-par total of 130 and the target proved to be quite a cakewalk for the Gujarat camp. In the high-voltage game, the Gujarat batsmen kept their cool and batted sensibly, ultimately winning the game and the coveted title.
