Match Result
Gujarat Titans won by 7 wickets to claim the IPL 2022 title in their very first season — one of the greatest debut campaigns by any franchise in IPL history. Captain Hardik Pandya lifted the trophy before leaving for Mumbai Indians the following season.
GT's Historic Debut Title
No franchise had ever won the IPL title in their debut season before Gujarat Titans achieved the feat in 2022. Hardik Pandya's leadership, combined with a balanced squad featuring Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan, proved unstoppable throughout the tournament.
RR's Disappointing Final
Rajasthan Royals — led by Sanju Samson with Jos Buttler having a phenomenal season — fell short on the biggest stage. Buttler had been the standout batter of IPL 2022 with four centuries, but his 39 in the final came off 35 balls — too slow given the pressure of a low total. GT's bowling attack exploited the Ahmedabad surface masterfully.
David Miller — The Finisher
David Miller's unbeaten 32 off 20 balls sealed the chase in the death overs. The South African left-hander had been GT's most reliable finisher throughout the tournament and delivered again when it mattered most.
