Rightly so, both teams made the cut for the playoffs. While Gujarat Titans finished on top of the points table, Lucknow Super Giants finished third on the table.
However, Gujarat Titans defied all the odds and qualified for the final, unlike Lucknow Super Giants who were knocked out by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator. Gujarat Titans beat Rajasthan Royals in the final to win their first title.
