NAGPUR: The problem that haunted Vidarbha in Vijay Hazare Trophy reared its ugly head again. The conundrum that the side had suffered in the one-dayers was that their key batters got out after getting their eyes in. The Faiz Fazal-led side were in a similar situation that cost them dear on Tuesday.
As many as five main batters got out after getting a good start. As a result, Vidarbha were bowled out for 264 runs against Tripura on Day 1 of their Ranji Trophy encounter at the VCA stadium in Civil Lines. In reply, Tripura were 3 for no loss at stumps. Tripura's pacer Ajay Sarkar (18.3-3-74-6) troubled Vidarbha with 6-for.
