Rajasthan Royals failed to beat Gujarat Titans in the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) final on Sunday, but Yuzvendra Chahal finished with the Purple Cap while teammate Jos Buttler got the Orange Cap. The Purple Cap is given to the highest wicket taker in IPL while the Orange Cap is given to the highest run scorer. Chahal finished as the top wicket-taker of IPL 2022 with 27 scalps in 17 matches, while Buttler finished as the best go-getter with a total of 863 in 17 matches.

Buttler, who was named ‘Player of the Tournament’, was disappointed after the final defeat to Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium. RR lost the match by seven wickets after posting 130/9 in 20 overs.

However, he said he exceeded his own expectations in the season, becoming the second most points scorer in any edition in the tournament’s history.
