14 sixes, 37 fours, scored 403 runs, Kohli Pandya's stormy batting, the 25-year-old unknown player scored a century
The Baroda team has done wonders in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. This team, captained by Krunal Pandya, scored 403 runs in 50 overs at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. The big thing is that 25-year-old young opener Ninad Rathwa scored a brilliant century for Baroda, while Parth Kohli and Krunal Pandya scored stormy half-centuries. The Baroda team gave a tough lesson to the Kerala bowlers by hitting 14 sixes and 37 fours. This season, for the first time, a team has crossed the score of 400.
Baroda tried to score runs quickly while batting first. But in this attempt, Shashwat Rawat was out after scoring 10 runs. After this, Ninad Rathwa along with Parth Kohli put Kerala on the backfoot by making a partnership of 160 runs. Ninad Rathwa played an innings of 136 runs in 99 balls. 3 sixes and 19 fours came off his bat. Baroda's strike rate was more than 137. On the other hand, Parth Kohli played an innings of 72 runs in 87 balls. 3 sixes and 3 fours also came off his bat.

Krunal Pandya and Vishnu Solanki also played amazing innings. Pandya played an unbeaten innings of 80 runs in 54 balls. The Baroda captain hit 3 sixes and 7 fours in his innings. Solanki hit 3 sixes and 3 fours. In the end, Bhanu Punia also played an innings of 37 runs in 15 balls with the help of 4 fours and 2 sixes.
Krunal Pandya was a flop in the last match, he could score only 13 runs in 33 balls but this time this player made a wonderful comeback. Baroda had won the last match by 92 runs. Baroda scored 302 runs in that match too. The good thing is that for the second consecutive time, Baroda's middle order has shone.
