With the crowd firmly behind him and chanting his name, Pandya took out Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer in a tight bowling display by the home side on a slow, dry pitch to keep Rajasthan to a low score, which they wouldn't have imagined after electing to bat first.

It was Pandya's spell that helped GT restrict RR to 130. The 28-year-old removed IPL 2022 Orange Cap holder Jos Buttler, RR captain Sanju Samson and West Indies power-hitter Shimron Hetmyer. With this, he also joined the elite list of captains with the best spell in an IPL final. The first on the list is former Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Anil Kumble who bowled 4/16 against Deccan Charges in the final of IPL 2009.
