Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets in the final of the 2022 season of Indian Premier League. Despite losing the final, it was a great season for Rajasthan Royals. This was for the first time since 2008 that Rajasthan reached the final of Indian Premier League.
Rajasthan Royals under the leadership of Shane Warne won the inaugural season of IPL. Rajasthan Royals management invited players from the 2008 winning campaign of RR to watch this final in Ahmedabad. Former RR players Munaf Patel, Yusuf Pathan, Mohammad Kaif, Siddharth Trivedi, and Swapnil Asnodkar were present in the stadium to cheer the Rajasthan Royals team in the Final.
Left arm pacer Chetan Sakariya was also seen in the pink jersey of Rajasthan Royals during the match. Chetan is currently part of Delhi Capitals in IPL.
This incident has caught the attention of cricket fans because Chetan was wearing a Rajasthan Royals jersey despite being part of Delhi Capitals team. This shows the love and admiration which Chetan still has for his former franchise. Meanwhile, Chetan Sakariya wasn’t given many chances by the Delhi Capitals in this season.
