Himachal Pradesh have scripted history by lifting their first-ever Vijay Hazare Trophy title. Playing their maiden national final, Rishi Dhawan-led Himachal Pradesh beating Tamil Nadu in the final makes this victory all the more bigger.
Dhawan, who had played the last of his four white-ball matches for India more than half-a-decade ago, led from the front throughout the tournament finishing it as the second-highest run-scorer and second-highest wicket-taker.
While Dhawan contributed with a vital 42* (23) comprising of five fours and a six in a 315-run target in the final, it was wicket-keeper batter Shubham Arora’s maiden List A century in his maiden List A tournament which made him a deserving candidate of the ‘Man of the Match’ award.
Arora, who shared a match-winning 148-run partnership for the fourth wicket alongside batter Amit Kumar (74), scored an outstanding 136* (131) with the help of 13 fours and a six at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium today.
