Atharva Taide’s century of rare brilliance in alliance with a disciplined bowling effort powered Vidarbha to a facile 38-run win over Saurashtra, and to their maiden Vijay Hazare Trophy title here on Sunday.

Once Vidarbha posted a daunting 317-8, riding on Taide’s 128 (118 balls), the task was cut out for Saurashtra and they failed to cross the line, ending up with 279 all out in 48.5 overs. Saurashtra though fought gamely for a large part despite slipping to 30-2.
