Top 10 Team India performers in the Vijay Hazare Trophy
Another season of India’s premier domestic one-day competition, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, ended with Gujarat taking the top honours in a maiden title triumph. Although the winning team did play some excellent cricket throughout the tournament, the one man who played the biggest hand for them was allrounder Axar Patel.Axar and a number of his Team India mates performed quite well in the tournament, including those who even made it to the national team based on their performances. With the 2015/16 Vijay Hazare Trophy now over, we look back at some of the better performers from among those who will be representing India in the upcoming Australia series.
#1 Axar Patel
| MAT | RUNS | AVG | HS | WKTS | AVG | BBI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 220 | 36.66 | 75 | 19 | 16.09 | 6/43 |
Axar Patel was easily the best performer in the tournament not only among Team India players, but among all of those who participated. He did full justice to the allrounder tag by picking up wickets with his left-arm spin and scoring useful runs in the lower order for Gujarat.
The icing on the cake for Patel was his team laying hands on the Vijay Hazare Trophy for the very first time. Axar Patel’s top performance in the tournament came in the semi-finals when he picked up 6 for 43 to propel Gujarat to the final.
