Gujarat Titans won the 15th edition of the Indian Premiere League (IPL)  under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy, in their maiden season itself. It was a commendable effort, given that not many had given them a chance after the mega auction. This IPL season witnessed several different players put up exceptional performances while star players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma among many others couldn’t do much. Overall, an entertaining and a memorable season. So with IPL 2022 now being consigned to history, here’s a look at Sporty Vaibhav’s playing XI of the tournament.

  1. Jos Buttler (Overseas) Opener – The Rajasthan Royals opener had a season to remember – the second most prolific for a batter in the history of IPL and took the Orange Cap. He was one of the reasons why RR made it to their first ever final since 2008. Buttler scored four centuries – the joint most by a batter in a single season. He finished with 863 runs – the most in IPL 2022 and the second highest after Virat Kohli during the course of a season. Unfortunately, he couldn’t help his team to win the tournament.
Different Cricket Legends also had a say on his contribution for Rajasthan Royals !!!
  1. K.L. Rahul- Opener and WK The Lucknow Super Giants skipper and opener scored 616 runs at an average of 51.33 including two centuries and four fifties. His tally was the second best of the season and he often gave LSG  solid start and anchored their innings. His strike-rate though often came under attack from the critics who felt he was deliberately holding himself back to anchor the innings which isn’t his natural game, and also claimed the team suffered occasionally because of it. Lucknow Super Giants had a pretty good season, losing to RCB in the Eliminator in IPL 2022.

K.L. Rahul knocks had costs his team a lot in this season !!!

  1. Rajat Patidar– The uncapped batter was included into the side midway through the season and he was a prime reason why Royal Challengers Bangalore made it as far as the second qualifier despite a mid-season slump. He could drop anchor and accelerate with quite ease, and often found himself in the middle earlier than expected. He played just eight matches and batted in 7 innings but scored 333 runs at a strike-rate of 152.75 including a sparkling century in the Eliminator against LSG to power his team to a comfortable win. He played a great knock against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2022 Qualifier 2.

Rajat Patidar is the emerging player and the match-winner for RCB in the crucial game against LSG.

  1. Hardik Pandya(Captain) – While season after season, the debate on who is the best skipper revolves around MS Dhoni  and Rohit Sharma, allrounder Pandya forced himself into the conversation and made it all about himself thanks to his performances this time around. He dazzled with his batting display – becoming an accumulator rather than a pinch-hitter and scored 487 runs – the most for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022. And he bowled as well, taking eight wickets including three in the final. And then he was spot on with his tactics, bowling change and impressed with his calm demeanor. The winning captain of IPL 2022.

5. Liam Livingstone (overseas) – (No 5) – Livingstone came in with the reputation of a big hitter. He didn’t disappoint in IPL 2022.  When on song, he was breathtaking and was in one such mood when he thrashed Mohammed Shami for the season’s biggest six (117m). He scored 437 runs – the second most for Punjab Kings – at a stunning strike-rate of 182.08. The Englishman scored four half-centuries and also took six wickets with his part-time spin bowling. Liam Livingstone had a pretty good season for Punjab Kings.

Liam Livingstone had played brilliantly for Punjab Kings in IPL 2022, but couldn’t help them reach the Play-Off Spot.

  1. David Miller – The IPL 2022 will also be remembered for the resurgence of Miller. The South African admitted he didn’t get the kind of backing over the past few years that he enjoyed when playing for the Titans this season. And the result was Miller becoming a pillar of GT’s middle order who would time and again provide stability and finish matches. He scored 483 runs at 68.71 and a strike-rate of 142.72 including two fifties and a high score of 94*. Gujarat Titans won their maiden trophy.

David Miller is the pillar of Gujarat Titans, he is the match-winner for the team.

7. Wanindu Hasaranga (overseas) – RCB spent a fortune on landing Hasaranga despite not retaining him ahead of the auction. And he justified the price tag by picking up 26 wickets  from 16 matches – the second most in the season. He would control the middle-overs effectively, more often than not denting the progress of opponents. He was economical – 7.54 – and took a hat-trick as well. In IPL 2022, Hasaranga had a great season but in the last two games, he was not successful for RCB.

  1. Yuzvendra Chahal– The season’s Purple Cap winner and the third ever spinner to do so. Chahal was at his best throughout the season for RR. He was released by RCB despite being one of their consistent performers. He responded with vengeance by collecting 27 wickets from 17 matches and also took a hat-trick against Kolkata Knight Riders during a spell which turned the contest in his team’s favour. Chahal didn’t won the season, but the played brilliantly for his team in IPL 2022. He could take wickets at a regular interval and help his team to concur the match.

Chahal had a pretty good season with the ball for Rajasthan Royals. He would get retained for the 2023 Season.

  1. Mohammed Shami – (Bowler) Shami was a key player in GT’s title run. He bowled in the Powerplay overs and then at the death proving how much his captain relied on his skills. He was their lead pacer who showed why sticking to line and length can be an effective way to tackler batters in T20 who come in with a mindset to hit everything. He would often trouble batters with his line and swing. And then surprised them with his pinpoint yorkers too. Shami has played brilliantly and has guided the youngsters of the team also in IPL 2022.

Shami had played brilliantly for Gujarat Titans and helped them to win there first title. He has guided the youngsters and has been a match winner.

10. Umran Malik – (Bowler) Their were several uncapped young players who proved their credentials by putting up game-changing performances. However, none was as eye-catching as Umran who caught the attention of the world thanks to his searing pace. In his first full season for Sunrisers Hyderabad,

the young right-arm pacer consistently bowled in the 150 kphs and held the record for having bowled the fastest delivery of IPL 2022 before Lockie Ferguson bettered it in the final. He though was quite expensive – economy of 9.3 – but took wickets in heaps. Umran finished with 22 wicket from 14 matches and took a five-wicket haul as well.

Umran Malik is the Emerging Star of India and he has to work on his line and lenght !!!

11. Mohsin Khan – (Bowler) Another find of the season. The left-arm pacer has been tipped by his LSG captain Rahul to soon play for India. After a late entry into the season, Mohsin never looked back. In nine matches, he took 14 wickets and boasted of an economy of just 5.96. He impressed with his discipline and would often crank up his pace as well showing his versatility. His emergence is the latest chapter in India’s fast bowling  revolution.

IPL 2022: Mohsin Khan, another young left-arm Indian pacer impresses at big stage.
  1. Rashid Khan (12th man) – (Bowler) It’s difficult, nearly impossible, to exclude Rashid from any playing XI. However, the fact that we haven’t given him a place in our first eleven is a reflection of how competitive this season was. The leg spinner was vital to GT’s title-winning season taking 19 wickets from 16 matches. And he also won them a game with his batting. And then, he had an economy of 6.59. However, Chahal and Hasaranga were just tad better and therefore edged ahead of him for a spot. Rashid Khan had a wonderful season for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022. He would be retained by the franchise.

Rashid Khan had an exceptional season for Gujarat Titans and he is the Spin Magician.
