IPL 2022 Final: Hardik Pandya Consoles Emotional Natasa Stankovic As Video Goes Viral

It was a huge day For Gujarat Titans and Hardik Pandya who had won the maiden IPL trophy by beating Rajasthan Royals in the final. Pandya, who was under pressure to perform, showed his all-around skills throughout the season; on some occasions, he failed to bowl his four overs which raised doubts on his India career. Nonetheless, he batted brilliantly on all games, helping his team gain the upper hand. However, in the final, Pandya the bowler came to the party as he went onto take three crucial wickets of Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, and Shimron Hetmyer.

WATCH VIDEO: Night of March 29 will be very memorable for Pandya and his wife Natasa Stankovic who was in tears. She started crying the moment he saw his husband and hugged him. Pandya, realizing that she is sobbing, comforted her.

That hug with wife Natasa was perhaps the culmination of all those emotions  that must have been going through the all-rounder for a long time. Hardik after all had credited his wife and son for his calm demeanour throughout the tournament.

IPL 2022 Final:
Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and chose to bat first in the final and GT bowlers were on the more from the outset. RR got off to a scratchy start with Yashasvi Jaiswal getting off the mark on his 8th delivery. He smashed 22 off 8 after being 0 (7) but soon got out in the powerplay itself.
Orange Cap winner Jos Buttler tried his best and carved out a 39-run knock, however, the wickets fell at regular intervals for RR and Hardik was the wrecker-in-chief. Hardik dismissed RR’s big three – Buttler, skipper Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer – to ensure that the Men in Pink don’t go beyond 130 in the final.

 

GT had lost a couple of wickets in the powerplay itself, however, skipper Hardik and opener Shubman Gill, who survived a dropped catch when he was batting on zero, stitched a match-winning 63 partnership to ensure the Men in Blue were never out of the game and David Miller put the finishing touches.

 

GT won the game by 7 wickets and the title. This was Hardik’s first title as a captain and fifth overall, having won 4 trophies with Mumbai Indians (2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020).
