Vidarbha defeated Maharashtra by 69 runs while defending a huge total of 380 and entered the final of India&#8217;s premier List A tournament for the first time in their history.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Vidarbha will clash against four-time champions Karnataka in the final at Kotambi Stadium in\u00a0Vadodara on Saturday, January 18. Karnataka knocked out the defending champions Haryana in the first semi-final to reach the summit clash for the fifth time.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, after being forced to bat first, Vidarbha openers Dhruv Shorey and Yash Rathod added 224 runs for the first wicket to dominate Maharashtra&#8217;s in-form bowlers. Both openers scored a century each but it was a terrific knock from captain Karun Nair that led Vidarbha to a mammoth total.<\/p>\n<p>Nair, batting at no.3, smashed unbeaten 88 runs off just 44 balls with the help of 9 fours and 5 sixes. The veteran batter now boasts 752 runs in 7 innings at a mind-blowing average of 752.00.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a special unit. It&#8217;s been an amazing journey, we have one more step to climb,&#8221; Karun Nair said after the game.\u00a0&#8220;Everyone&#8217;s contributed, so happy for each others&#8217;\u00a0success. One more game to go and that will be an icing on the cake. Be it a small or big contribution, everyone has chipped in at some point. (Facing Karnataka in the final) It&#8217;s just another game, it&#8217;s a final. We need to play our best cricket to win the game.&#8221;    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Maharashtra Playing XI: <\/strong>Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Arshin Kulkarni, Siddhesh Veer, Ankit Bawne, Rahul Tripathi, Azim Kazi, Nikhil Naik (wk), Satyajeet Bachhav, Mukesh Choudhary, Rajneesh Gurbani, Pradeep Dadhe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vidarbha Playing XI:<\/strong> Dhruv Shorey, Yash Rathod, Karun Nair (c), Apoorv Wankhade, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shubham Dubey, Harsh Dubey, Nachiket Bhute, Parth Rekhade, Yash Thakur, Darshan Nalkande.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/karun-nair-s-red-hot-run-continues-as-vidarbha-eliminate-maharashtra-to-reach-vijay-hazare-trophy-final-2025-01-16-971646\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : JIOCINEMA\/X Karun Nair smashed 88* off just 44 against Maharashtra Karun Nair made the headlines again with a sensation knock to help Vidarbha beat Maharashtra in the second semi-final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 on Thursday, January 16.
