Baroda team has done wonders in Vijay Hazare Trophy. This team, captained by Krunal Pandya, scored 403 runs in 50 overs at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. The big thing is that for Baroda, 25 year old young opener Ninad Rathva scored a brilliant century, while Parth Kohli and Krunal Pandya scored stormy half-centuries. Baroda team defeated Kerala bowlers by hitting 14 sixes and 37 fours. For the first time this season, a team has crossed the score of 400.

Krunal Pandya was a flop in the last match, he was able to score 13 runs in 33 balls, but this time this player made an amazing comeback. Baroda had also won the last match by 92 runs. In that match also, Baroda had scored 302 runs. The good thing is that Baroda's middle order has shone for the second consecutive time.
