NEW DELHI: Karnataka recently scripted history by winning the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) for a record fifth time in the 2024-25 edition, bringing an end to their five-year title drought. One of the key reasons behind this triumph was the performance of captain Mayank Agarwal, who finished as the edition's second-highest run-scorer, accumulating 651 runs in 10 matches. Karnataka registered the second-biggest successful chase in the tournament's history, chasing down a target of 383 against Mumbai.
However, Mayank's glorious run arrived after perseverance under immense pressure internally and externally. The cricketer was motivated to send a message to those who wrote him off, as shared by his coach Rx Muralidhar during an interaction with TOI.
