Gujarat Titans (GT) and their fans are over the moon after the team clinched the IPL 2022 trophy by beating Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the final. It was jubilation for the crowd when Hardik Pandya collected the trophy from Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It was almost a full-house in the world’s biggest stadium to witness the home team reigning supreme.
However, for the GT fans who missed the opportunity to see their team lifting the coveted title, Gujarat Titans will be doing a roadshow with the IPL 2022 trophy to let the fans have a close look at the shiny thing for which ten teams fought for over two months. Reports have suggested that Gujarat Titans will be doing a roadshow with the team & trophy to thank fans today at 5:30 PM.
The caravan will begin at Usmanpura Riverfront and will end at Vishwakunj Riverfront, confirmed reports.
Hardik Pandya lives the dream!
Now coming to GT's win in the IPL 2022 Final against Rajasthan Royals, Hardik Pandya stole the show with his all-round performance in the most important game. Pandya took three big wickets (Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, and Shimron Hetmyer) with the ball and then scored crucial 34 runs with the bat. The GT captain was also named Man of the Match for his performance.
Apart from performing individually, Hardik also ensured the best comes out of every player. He made the perfect changes in bowling. Bowling Rashid Khan inside the powerplay was one of those brilliant tactics that helped GT restrict RR to a paltry total of 130/9.
Not just in the final, but Hardik Pandya led his team brilliantly throughout the season. As a result, GT won their maiden IPL title in their debut season itself and Hardik became the fourth Indian captain (after MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Gautam Gambhir) to win an IPL trophy.
