Gill’s 45 came from 43 balls and ended with a six that secured the victory. What an amazing season by— Lisa Sthalekar (@sthalekar93) @gujarat_titans. To bring together a new group of players & gel so quickly speaks volumes of great leadership on & off the field. Wonderful to see a packed house, this is what we love the most about this competition, the fans. The pair put on 63 runs for the third wicket to put the pressure back on the bowling side as Pandya smashed Ravichandran Ashwin for a four and six in the 12th over. Hardik Pandya starred with bat and ball as the Gujarat Titans clinched the IPL title in their debut season with a seven-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in front of a record crowd of 104,859 in Ahmedabad on Monday. Matthew Wade and the Gujarat Titans have clinched the IPL title in their debut season, winning the final in front of 104,859 fans.

Matthew Wade is an IPL title winner after Hardik Pandya and David Miller star for Gujarat as they thrashed Rasjasthan Royals in the decider.

Opting to bat first, Rajasthan never got going and posted a below-par 9-130. Wade, holding his spot at No.3, came in during the second over after Prasidh Krishna bowled Saha, then crashed that bowler for one mighty six. Gujarat lost Wriddhiman Saha and Wade cheaply but Pandya combined with Shubman Gill in a 63-run stand to help Gujarat overcome a slow start.

Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya leapfrogged MS Dhoni as the player with the second most titles in IPL history.

Hardik Pandya may have failed to break Rohit Sharma’s record for the most IPL titles, but he did equal MS Dhoni’s special record in the competition. Hardik Pandya, however, pipped CSK skipper MS Dhoni and former Mumbai Indians pacer Lasith Malinga, both of whom have won the IPL title four times each. Overall, Hardik Pandya won his fifth IPL title during the weekend and joined his former Mumbai Indians teammates Kieron Pollard and Ambati Rayudu in second place as the men who have the most IPL trophies to their name.

Questions around his fitness, his bowling, his captaincy, his new No. 4 spot, have all been answered and how.

The next ball was Hardik's last of the day, and it was back to basics: into the pitch, while angling the ball across the left-hand batter. He had performed a steadying role at No. 4 all through the season; all that remained was to do it one last time. Before this season, he hadn't had too many opportunities to begin a T20 innings with more than 10 overs remaining, but at Titans, he has adopted that role out of necessity and relished it. That sequence included a pair of offcutters that gripped and beat the outside edge, and a 143kph bouncer that left Padikkal late on a hook. A bit of extra bounce, possibly, and a bit of nibble off the seam - neither in any way pronounced - caused him to edge behind. One ball later, Hardik bowled his one full ball of the evening, and Hetmyer opened his bat face to steer it between wicketkeeper and short third man. Starting the 15th over having given away only seven runs in his first three, Hardik suffered his only dose of punishment on the day. By then, Hardik had tormented Devdutt Padikkal as well, bowling seven balls to the left-hand batter and conceding only a leg bye. "[At the] right time, I wanted to show what I have worked hard for, and today was the day, from my bowling point of view, I saved the best for the best [stage]," Hardik said during the post-match presentation. The ball kicked up awkwardly, and Samson skewed it to backward point. And oh, Hardik had never captained a team at senior level; how would he lead this group of players who had never played with each other before? He had been appointed captain of a new IPL franchise, Gujarat Titans, and it was still not known what role he would play for them.

"A big congratulations to Hardik and his team, they are the deserving champions." "Today was the day I saved the best for." Buttler began cautiously, going at a run-a-ball rate and hoping to cut lose towards the end but it was not to be.

Narine finished the tournament as one of only two bowlers to concede less than a run a ball and will definitely be a force in Australia if he can continue in that rich vein of form. The veteran off-spinner is in excellent form and looks like he is determined to make up for missing out on playing for West Indies at the most recent ICC T20 World Cup last year. It's likely Hazlewood will partner left-armer Mitchell Starc with the new ball for Australia at the ICC T20 World Cup and that is a formidable duo to try and score off. Rashid's strike rate with the bat at the IPL (206.81) is testament to this fact and you just know he will make an impact one way or another at the T20 World Cup. 8. Josh Hazlewood (Australia) - 20 wickets for Royal Challengers Bangalore at an average of 18.85 and economy rate of 8.10. When he first arrived on the scene Rabada was somewhat wayward with the new ball at times, but a more mature Rabada can definitely make an impact for the Proteas in Australia with his control and consistency a clear threat. This was often the case during the IPL - and is arguably more regular at international level - with Rashid's economy rate under seven runs per over and easily inside the top 10 for all bowlers at the tournament. It was a strange case of less is more for the highly-talented David, who could well be called up for Australia and given a chance to impress in the lead-up to the ICC T20 World Cup later this year. It's amazing to think that the towering right-armer is only 27 and could still be on the improve if his performances at the IPL are closely scrutinised. Livingstone stood out in more ways the one at the IPL and should be ready to produce on the big stage in Australia if he can continue his recent upward curve. While Australia already have a bevy of star batters at their disposal, David's skillset is slightly different to what they currently have and the 26-year-old could be a surprise packet at the World Cup if he can grasp his chance. We take a look at 10 players that excelled during the recently completed Indian Premier League that are likely to be a force at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.

"I don't think I'll be pushing on too far after that at international level. "I'm really comfortable in all positions, I've played long enough now to know what to do in most scenarios and it's something I'll try and master and get better at and not let a position dictate really how I play too much." "It's something I'm trying to get better and better at, I want to be someone who can be multi-positioned, maybe (if there's) a player they don't want to send in during the powerplay they can use me at international level and then slide back and bat seven later in the innings. "I've got a young family as well, I like being at home a little bit more as well and that opportunity to do both is something that still interests me. "I really love the camaraderie of domestic cricket and playing with the same players over a longer period of time and striving for something collectively," Wade told cricket.com.au. "I'll basically just drop my kit off then head back over to Sri Lanka, come back (home) for about a month for some time off, play (England's) Hundred for Birmingham and then seven or eight T20Is between now and the World Cup," he said.

While two Australians - David Warner (848 in 17 innings, 2016) and Mike Hussey (733 in 17 innings, 2013) - also figure on the Top-5 list, people were quick to point out why Cricket Australia was highlighting the achievements of an England cricketer and a league that is played in India. Virat's mountain of runs in 2016 - 973 in 16 innings in 2016 for RCB - continues to be the highest by a batter in an IPL season, and Buttler (863 runs in 17 games) missed it by a big margin. Cricket Australia was on Monday trolled for posting an image of charismatic Rajasthan Royals batter Jos Buttler, after the 32-year-old England cricketer emerged the second-highest run-getter ever in a single Indian Premier League (IPL) season, scoring an astronomical 863 runs in 17 games.

Kolkata and Ahmedabad split the playoff matches and the massive turnout for the final is a testament to the unwavering appeal of the world's richest Twenty20 league. This year the entire league phase was restricted in the western state of Maharashtra to avoid air travel and minimise infection risks. India's struggle to contain the COVID-19 pandemic had forced the organisers to hold the entire 2020 edition of the tournament in the United Arab Emirates, which also hosted the second half of last year's tournament.
