Vijay Hazare Trophy winner list all season: Himachal Pradesh have won their maiden Vijay Hazare Trophy title by defeating Tamil Nadu.

The Himachal Pradesh domestic Cricket side have done the unprecedented. Not only have they bagged their historical maiden domestic title, but they have won it by defeating arguably the strongest side in the Indian domestic circuit currently- Tamil Nadu by 11 runs (VJD method) in the final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021-22 at the Sawai Mansingh stadium, Jaipur.

Chasing a stiff total of 314 posted by Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh’s wicketkeeper-batter Shubham Arora set the tone right from the get go and remained unbeaten at an individual score of 136* (131) till the fading natural light made sure no further play was possible.

He was assisted remarkably well by Amit Kumar (74 off 79) and later by his skipper Rishi Dhawan (42* off 23) during the coarse of a record chase.

While a 148-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Arora and Kumar was imperative, Himachal Pradesh still needed to score 71 runs of 53 deliveries, when the latter was dismissed. It was at this point that Dhawan, with the assistance of 5 fours and a maximum, while striking at 182.61 per 100 deliveries steered the ship through to the ultimate frontier.

Dhawan in fact, ended the season as the second-higest run-getter (458 runs) as well as the second-highest wicket-taker (17 wickets).
