“It is my fourth year. I wanted to be there till the end and that was the talk with the coaches. Glad I took them over the line,” said Shubman Gill.
Gujarat Titans bowlers made the most of the home conditions in Ahmedabad to restrict them to 130/9 in 20 overs. Skipper Hardik Pandya bagged three wickets and R Sai Kishore took two wickets for GT.
“Our bowlers bowled really well to restrict them to 130. We wanted to keep them under 150 but fortunately it was much lesser, ” said Gill.
Playing on homeground Gujarat Titans made the most of the conditions and became the champions of IPL 2022.
