David Miller is the Player of the Match for his incredible 68* off just 38 balls. Regarding what has changed for him this season, the South African replies that he has got opportunities and a good role in the team, and that's the reason for his success. He is enjoying his role and is understanding his game a little better. Further says that he wants to keep everything closer to his game plan. Tells that he just backed himself and went for the big shots. Adds that he has played for different teams and knew a few players already in Gujarat. Shares that the first win that they had was close, and that brought them together. On his plans for the final over, Miller says that you need to control what you can and cannot think too much ahead. Further says that if it's in your area, you have to capitalize as it's all about taking all your opportunities.
Hardik Pandya, the victorious captain of Gujarat, says that he has started to balance things in his life. Adds that it's been difficult for him to manage his body, the bubble life, and his family has played a big role in making him a better cricketer. Tells that he is trying to be neutral at this moment and is really proud of all the boys. Shares that if you have good people around you, you tend to get good things. Further says that all the boys are backing each other, and that's the reason they have reached this stage. Mentions that it's all about respecting the game, he is proud of Miller and during the chase, they wanted to finish the game and not leave it for the others. Regarding batting at number 4, Hardik replies that it all depends on what his team wants from him. Tells that they appreciate all the knocks, no matter how small or big, and signs off by saying that winning the trophy is a dream.
Time for the Presentation...
Shubman Gill (35 off 21 balls) comes up for a chat. The Gujarat opener says that Kolkata has always been nice to him and fortunately, he has ended on the winning side. Adds that batting at Eden Gardens is an opportunity you look forward to. Tells that they got off to a great start in the Powerplay. Shares that they expected the pitch to be a belter but it surprised them. Informs that the spinners were getting a little bit of grip. Further says that it's exciting, the team is new but the way they have come together is amazing. Regarding any pressure on him after Gujarat picked him in the draft, Gill replies that there wasn't any added pressure on him as they retained him on his past performance.
Sanju Samson, the captain of Rajasthan, says that they felt really good after putting in that kind of a total, as the wicket was sticky. Feels that they batted really well. Adds that it was a bit two-paced and the bounce was also uneven. Calls it a tough wicket to bat on, and feels that it was a great performance from their batters. Mentions that their 5-bowler strategy has worked so far and opines that the wicket got a bit easier in the second innings. Wants his team to come back stronger. Tells that they played well in this match as well but a few overs didn't go their way. Hopes for a good result in the next game.
Time for some interviews!
Earlier in the game, Rajasthan managed to put a big score courtesy of a fantastic knock by Buttler. The Rajasthan skipper, Samson was the one who provided the momentum and overall, Rajasthan had an upper hand going into the innings break. For Gujarat, apart from Rashid Khan, all the bowlers were expensive but the Rajasthan bowlers too could not keep the scoring rate under check and in the end, Gujarat inched ahead by winning those crucial moments in a tight game.
This was yet another one of those classic Gujarat chases that we have been so used to seeing this season. The target was a big one and the stakes were high but they have nailed some fantastic chases this season and this is another one of those. They lost Saha in the first over but Gill and Wade kept the momentum on their side as they found boundaries at regular intervals in the Powerplay. However, Gill got run out in the 8th over in an unfortunate manner and Wade followed soon. The best thing about this chase was the required rate never got out of the hands as Miller and Pandya planned it superbly. The second-last over though brought the equation to 16 off 6 but Miller, as cool as ever, finished the chase with three towering sixes.
Gujarat are heading to their capital - AHMEDABAD, for the FINAL OF THE INDIAN T20 LEAGUE, 2022. What a season this has been for them. What a fairytale this has been, not many people gave them the chance at the start of the season but their performance has proved once again that this is a team game and if you click as a unit, it is very hard to stop you. Rajasthan, on the other hand, should keep their heads high. They were in the match right till the end and were probably the more fancied team going into the final over but it was just the 'Killer Miller' magic that took the game away from them. They have yet another chance to bounce back and they have played good cricket so far and would be looking to end on the right side of the result in Qualifier 2.
David Miller, you beauty! He has pulled off another heist for Gujarat! Wow! What a finish and what a game to start the playoffs. We have seen some tremendous chases this season and this one is right up there!

FOUR! Finds the gap! Slower delivery, full toss around off and dipping into the batter, Miller gets back to punch it through the line but it takes the outside edge and speeds away from the backward point fielder.
DRINKS! Gujarat have paced this chase perfectly so far! The required rate is well under their control and with finishers like Pandya and Miller in the middle and a couple more to follow, it is safe to say that Gujarat are the favourite at the moment. However, a couple of tidy overs and a wicket or two can change the momentum completely as we are down to the final four overs now, to determine our first finalist of the Indian T20 League, 2022. Obed McCoy is back on.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Shubman Gill OUT!
OUT! GILL IS RUN OUT! A big mix-up and Gujarat have lost a needless wicket. Floated delivery, full and around middle, Shubman Gill works it with gentle hands towards mid-wicket and scampers back for the second run. Matthew Wade takes a start but then stops. Shimron Hetmyer attacks the ball near the circle and fires a throw at the bowler's end. Devdutt Padikkal goes to collect it and breaks the stumps in a jiffy. Gill is not even in the frame. He walks back disappointed.

DRINKS! This is the highest Powerplay score for Gujarat this season and it is exactly what they needed while chasing a big score in a crunch game. They lost the in-form Saha early but these two have been positive and the momentum is on Gujarat's side now. Rajasthan need to break this partnership and a couple of tidy overs will help bring some pressure back on Gujarat. Yuzvendra Chahal to bowl after the break...
