Gujarat Titans (GT) beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by seven wickets in the final to win the IPL title in front of their home crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Gujarat skipper Hardik Pandya won the Player of the Match award for his performance, and he was highly appreciated by the cricketing fraternity.
The BCCI Secretary, Jay Shah, congratulated Hardik Pandya and his team and reacted to the successful hosting of the IPL 2022 in Indian venues.
Shah also described the IPL 2022 season as a truly memorable season with our fans back in the stadium.
"Congratulations to Hardik Pandya & Gujarat Titans for winning the IPL in the very first season & in front of their home crowd at the magnificent Shri Narendra Modi Stadium. This has been a truly memorable season with our fans back in the stadium, celebrating every moment," Shah tweeted.
The BCCI was eager to host the IPL 2022 in India, and everything worked out beautifully. To minimise travel difficulties, the board opted to hold the IPL league matches in the 2022 season entirely in Maharashtra, with a capacity of 50% in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Pune in the initial games.
The number of spectators was eventually increased before the final match at the Narendra Modi Stadium to its full capacity.
