So that will be that for our coverage from the Maharaja Trophy 2023. Hubli Tigers managed to beat Mysore Warriors quite narrowly by just eight runs. We hope you enjoyed our coverage here at Sportskeeda. Allow us- Sooryanarayanan Sesha and Mohul Bhowmick- to bid goodbye. Until next time, take care and goodbye!
And off go the Tigers go to pick up their trophy and celebrate this win!
Here is what Manish Pandey, the winning captain of Hubli Tigers has to say: I am extremely pleased to be here. I have to say that this was a very good performance from us. The guys who were doing well needed to keep the momentum going, and I am happy with the way we did it. I am very happy to contribute. (About that Superman-like stop) As soon as the batsman hit the ball, I thought that it was going for a six, but when it started coming my way, I felt that I could stop it. The boys were brilliant today, and I have absolutely no words for them. The Karnataka State Cricket Association were unbelievable in organising the tournament this year. We had brilliant surfaces to play upon, and this was thanks to the excellent work put in by the groundstaff. All in all, a fantastic tournament.
So near yet so far for the Mysore Warriors. Karun Nair, the skipper, comes up to receive the runner-up trophy. What a season he has had and he can be might proud of how his team has played as well.
And here's what Karun Nair has to say: In the second innings we lost a few wickets in the middle where we shouldn't have. I should be taking responsibility for that and should have finished it off. We started off with a good team, played good cricket throughout the tournament and took the opportunities. A big thank you to Arjun sir and the Mysore Warriors family and the support staff for staying patient with us. Lot of positives - lot of youngsters came through and a lot of batters and bowlers put their hands up. It wasn't just one person putting their hand up. It was a total team effort. (Message to the support staff and team) Very big thank you for supporting us and providing us with the perfect environment. Thank you to the Mysore Warriors family. Would like to thank you all (fans) for coming this far and supporting this. Hopefully we can win it next year and bring the cup home to Mysore (thanks the fans in Kannada).
