Vijay Hazare Trophy: Karnataka crowned champion for fifth time after outclassing Vidarbha in final

The Hindu  

Karnataka’s resolve to invest in the future ahead of the season paid rich dividends as a young brigade, led by southpaw R. Smaran, stepped up to beat Vidarbha by 36 runs in a high-scoring final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy at the Kotambi Stadium here on Saturday. Dhruv Shorey’s third century on the bounce and Harsh Dubey’s late fireworks were not enough in the face of a 349-run target as Karnataka claimed a record-equalling fifth title, going level with Tamil Nadu. KV Aneesh and skipper Mayank Agarwal had perished in identical fashion, checking a drive straight to the cover fielder, and Devdutt Paddikal’s prolific run was snapped early on. The left-handed duo cranked through the gears after the halfway mark, and found their bearings against offies Yash Kadam and Karun Nair, who conceded 43 runs in the six overs they bowled in tandem.
