The latest edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) came to a close on Sunday evening with debutant Gujarat Titans clinching the prestigious title after defeating Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets.

Pandya's clinical figures, which read 3/17 in 4 overs, helped Gujarat restrict Rajasthan for 130/9 in 20 overs after they opted to bat first. They then completed the paltry 131-run chase in just 18.1 overs making the finale a one-sided affair.
However, Rajasthan did have something to cheer about in the end. Star opener Jos Buttler, who finished as the leading run-scorer, took home almost every individual honour, which included handsome cash prize.
