IPL 2022: Gujarat Titans tweet about the finals goes viral - Check here!
Home > News Shots > Sports newsRajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans clashed in the final of the 15th IPL yesterday (29.05.2022).
The Gujarat Titans won the match by 7 wickets to clinch the IPL trophy.
Both the Gujarat Titans and the Lucknow Super Giants, two newcomers to the current IPL series, dominated the opposition.
In particular, the Gujarat team, led by Hardik Pandya, topped the league round with 20 points. Gujarat beat Rajasthan in the first qualifier and advanced to the final to keep the batting and bowling strong.
Following this, Gujarat faced Rajasthan again in the final yesterday. Rajasthan, who batted first in the match, were caught by Gujarat and stumbled to accumulate a large number of runs. Thus, at the end of 20 overs, Rajasthan scored only 130 runs for the loss of 9 wickets.
Following this, Gujarat relaxed and reached the target with the first ball of the 19th over. Cricket celebrities and fans have lauded the performance of the Gujarat team players and the leadership of Hardik Pandya in capturing the inaugural IPL series.
Meanwhile, a tweet shared by Gujarat team is currently going viral among Indian cricket fans. The Indian cricket team, led by Dhoni, won the 2011 Fifty Over World Cup. The moment when Dhoni finished with sixes in the final against Sri Lanka is one of the most resilient among cricket fans today.
Similarly, Gujarat batsman Shupman Gill ended the match with a six in the final yesterday. His jersey is number 7. Dhoni's jersey number is 7. When India won the World Cup in 2011, the team was coached by Gary Kristen and Indian fast bowler Ashish Nehra.
Both of them were currently coaching the Gujarat team. Similarly, when the Indian team defeated Sri Lanka in 2011, Sangakkara and Malinga were in the squad. Both of them were the coaches of the now defunct Rajasthan team.
Thus, the tweet shared by the Gujarat team about the similarities between the 2011 50-over World Cup final and the final of the 15th IPL series has caused much consternation among the fans. Related posts are also becoming more and more viral.
