With four runs needed off the final two overs, all eyes were on Shubman Gill and David Miller on how they finish off the game to seal the IPL title for Gujarat Titans in their debut season. Rajasthan Royals pacer Obed McCoy had the ball in his hand, and on the first ball of the over, Shubman Gill deposited the ball over square-leg for a massive six, sealing the victory for Gujarat and sending more than 1 lakh fans at Narendra Modi Stadium in a frenzy.
After sealing the victory for Gujarat Titans, Gill removed his helmet and let out a roar. David Miller, who was at the other end, came charging down to hug him.
