Newcomer Gujarat Titans clinched the title in their debut by defeating Rajasthan Royals, the first champions in the IPL. Gujarat captain Hardik Pandya led from the front to win the title.

His all-rounding performance throughout the tournament culminated in the final in Ahmedabad. Gujarat beat Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Captain Pandya became the best in the match by contributing bat and ball in this victory. He took 3 wickets for 18 runs with the ball. He played an innings of 34 runs off 30 balls.

The Indian all-rounder has returned to form after battling a long-running back injury. After winning the IPL title, the 28-year-old Pandya's goal for India to win the T20 World Cup this time is, "Whatever it is, India must win the World Cup."

After winning the IPL title, Pandya said in response to a question, "I will destroy everything I have. The team is first. The simple goal for me is to make sure the team gets the most out of me. It is always a pleasure to represent the country. Whatever it is, I want to win the World Cup. "

Pandya has been forced to play as a batsman in the last two seasons due to a back injury. After recovering from the injury, he bowled a part-time run at the start of the season. Pandia almost single-handedly kept the run wheel of Rajasthan in the final after playing great in the tournament. He also turned to Joss Butler before he took a terrible turn. Gujarat won the title mainly because of his frugal bowling and effective batting.

Pandya, who has won the title five times, considers himself lucky, "I have played five finals and lifted the trophy five times, so I consider myself very lucky." The strike rate of 131.28 at an average of 44.26 per match is also enviable. Besides, he took 6 wickets with the ball.
