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.


#2. Flop - Matthew Wade

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.


#1. Hit - Hardik Pandya

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.
