Gujarat Win IPL Title In front Of Almost 105,000 Fans

Skipper Hardik Pandya made 34 as Gujarat Titans beat Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets to win the Indian Premier League final in front of a record crowd of 104,859 on Sunday.

Chasing a modest 131 for victory in their debut season, Gujarat depended on a 63-run third-wicket partnership between Shubman Gill, who made 45 not out, and Pandya to achieve their target with 11 balls to spare in Ahmedabad.

Earlier Pandya, a fast bowler, returned figures of 3-17 including Jos Buttler's prized scalp for 39 to keep down Rajasthan to 130-9.-AFP
