Vijay Hazare Trophy | Rishi puts Himachal in maiden final
The Hindu
His all-round performance helps the team ease past Services
Rishi Dhawan continued to sizzle with the bat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy as his all-round show at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Friday helped Himachal Pradesh secure a berth in the final.
Prashant Chopra (78, 109b, 4x4, 3x6) played the anchor while Dhawan (84, 7b, 9x4, 1x6) provided the much-needed acceleration in the business end to bury Services under a mountain of runs. A disciplined effort with the ball — led by Rishi’s four for 27 — was enough for a 77-run win.
