Needed 5 runs off the last ball.. Shahrukh hit a six and made Tamil Nadu champion

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Final 2021: Defending champions Tamil Nadu have won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In the final match, Tamil Nadu defeated Karnataka by 4 wickets. The match was exciting till the last ball. Tamil Nadu needed 5 runs to win on the last ball of the match. On this last ball, Tamil Nadu batsman Shahrukh Khan made his team the champion by hitting a strong six.

Karnataka opener could not give a good start

In this match played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Tamil Nadu won the toss and called Karnataka to bat first. Karnataka’s start was not special and within 6 overs, they lost their 3 wickets for just 34 runs. From here, BR Sharad and Manohar took over the team by sharing 55 runs. Praveen Dubey and Jagdish Suchit also scored runs as needed and took Karnataka 150 crosses. Tamil Nadu bowler Sai Kishore bowled sharply and took 3 wickets for just 12 runs in 4 overs.

Shahrukh’s explosive batting gave Tamil Nadu victory

Chasing a small target of 152 runs, Tamil Nadu’s team started well but the middle order could not do much. The run-rate of the batsmen remained slow. The result was that in the last 2 overs, the team needed 30 runs to win. Here Shahrukh Khan made Tamil Nadu win by scoring 33 runs off 15 balls. Shahrukh Khan was adjudged man of the match for his strong innings.

Even two years ago, both the teams were face to face.

With this victory, Tamil Nadu has also equalized the 2 year old account. In fact, the same two teams were face to face in the final match of 2019 too, where Karnataka registered a thrilling one-run victory.
