Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025 Final Live Cricket Score: Vidarbha won the toss and opted to bowl first against Karnataka in the Vijay Hazare Trophy final at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Sunday
All eyes will be on Vidarbha captain Karun Nairwho has been in red-hit form for his adopted state. Nair has notched up scores of 112, 44, 163, 111, 112, 122 and 88, all but one unbeaten knocks, in his last seven batting innings and his tally now stands at 752 runs at a stunning average of 752.
It is the most by a captain in the history of Vijay Hazare Trophy, surpassing Maharashtra skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad’s tally of 660 runs made during the 2022-23 season. Nair also has a chance to overhaul Narayan Jagadeesan’s record for the most runs scored in a single season of the VHT — 830 runs during the 2022-23 edition. Another heavy score could also further brighten Nair’s chances of finding a place in India’s one-day side, at least for the home ODIs against England.
