Karun Nair in Semi-Final: The Vijay Hazare Trophy semi-final match is underway between Maharashtra and Vidarbha. In this match, the toss was decided in favour of Maharashtra and captain Rituraj Gaikwad decided to bowl first. This decision seems to be partially wrong.
Because Vidarbha took the feathers of the Maharashtra bowlers. Dhruv Shorey and Yash Rathore shared a partnership of 224 runs for the first wicket.
Vidarbha’s Dominant Batting Performance
Dhruv scored 114 runs in 120 balls while Yash scored 116 runs in 101 balls. The pair lasted for 34.4 overs. After that, all eyes were on the captain Karun Nair. Either low ball and will he maintain the rhythm in it? Sports lovers had this question. But Karun Nair played well in this match too. He scored a half-century in just 35 balls with the help of 6 fours and a six.
He then maintained his aggressive stance. Karun Nair scored an unbeaten 88 off 44 balls with the help of 9 fours and 5 sixes. Karun Nair has remained unbeaten in 6 out of 7 matches played so far.
