Lankan wrist-spinner Hasaranga finished second in the Purple Cap list with 26 scalps from 16 matches. Punjab Kings’ pacer Kagiso Rabada was third with 23 wickets from 13 matches. In the final. RR won the toss and decided to bat first but the move backfired as they witnessed a batting collapse. Hardik took three wickets for 17 for GT and Jos Buttler with 39 off 35 was the top-scorer for RR. In reply, Shubman Gill made 45 not out of 43 and Hardik scored 34 off 30 as Gujarat clinched the title in their debut season. Reacting to the special campaign, Hardik said: " This title is going to be a special one because we talked about creating a legacy. The coming generations will talk about it."
