After going unsold in the first round of the auction, David Miller bagged a contract of ₹3 crores from Gujarat. The move proved to be one of the steals of the season among overseas players, as the left-hander showcased his worth and emerged highly successful in his campaign.
Miller enjoyed his best-ever IPL campaign as he scored 481 runs in 16 outings this year. Striking at a rate of 142+, the South African averaged 68.7 runs with the bat - the most by any batter in the league.
Miller's best innings came in a game against Chennai, where he clobbered 94* off 51 and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat for his side.

In the last six months or so, Matthew Wade has won two major T20 titles - the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 and IPL 2022. While he played a key role in Australia's World Cup triumph, he was sub-par for the Titans.
The 34-year-old opened the innings alongside Shubman Gill in the earlier fixtures before getting moved to No. 3. Wade struggled for runs throughout the season, amassing just 157 runs at a mediocre strike rate of 113.7 in 10 games. Fortunately for the Gujarat Titans, his form didn't cost them.

Prior to IPL 2022, Hardik Pandya had no captaincy experience in the marquee event. However, with his stellar 'leading-from-the-front' attitude, the flamboyant all-rounder guided his home franchise all the way.
Pandya contributed in all facets of the game and was even influential in building a positive environment for the team. The GT's top run-getter scored 487 runs at an average of 44.2 with the bat. Pandya even picked up eight wickets in the tournament, including 3/17 in the finals against RR - his best-ever bowling figures in the IPL.
Pandya's outstanding performances in the league eventually earned him a recall to the Indian white-ball squad for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa.
