Atharva Taide's Century Leads Vidarbha to Maiden Vijay Hazare Trophy Victory

Vidarbha secured their maiden Vijay Hazare Trophy title with a 38-run victory over Saurashtra at Bengaluru's BCCI Centre of Excellence. Opener Atharva Taide scored a commanding 128, helping set a total of 317 for eight. Despite determined fifties from Saurashtra's Prerak Mankad (88) and Chirag Jani (64), Vidarbha's disciplined bowling, led by Yash Thakur's four wickets, restricted the chase to 279. Fielding lapses by Vidarbha extended Saurashtra's resistance, but key dismissals ensured Vidarbha's historic win.
