Now, this is the exact reason why netizens are claiming the GT's victory as "Fixed" and social media is buzzing with '#fixing' at the moment. Twitter feels that the game was politically fixed with Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi belonging to the same state.
However, several netizens came in favour of Gujarat Titans who have been performing since the start.
A user said that even if this is not an MI vs CSK IPL final, people are still calling it fixing. What it means is that there have been several instances in the past wherein IPL fans have called the matches being fixed.
It should be noted that these allegations seem unfair as GT has played some excellent and showcased consistent performances throughout the season. It can also be said that they were the best team this season winning 10 out of 14 matches in the league stage and then backing it with a stunning show in both playoff games including the final. The main contribution was of the duo - skipper Hardik Pandya and coach Ashish Nehra.
Different players stepped up for them at crunch moments as they won around 5-6 matches in the final over of the innings. While Hardik impressed with his all-round abilities, David Miller had his best IPL season thanks to the role clarity and the backing he got. The bowling attack comprising Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan with others playing a supporting role was one of the best too.
