The other night was one of the hard days to digest for the Indian citizen, as they lost the services of a few incredible persons working for the safety of the country. The suicidal bomb attack saw 40 CRPF jawans losing their lives at Pulwama.
This is a small gesture from the team: Faiz Fazal
Shock, grief and outrage spread across the nation. The globe with countries from the US to Russia condemning the attack. Pakistan has been blamed for the attack by India as well as the US, where the terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed is based. In between, Pakistan has denied any wrongdoing.
Speaking in the post-match presentation, the skipper Faiz Fazal lauded the efforts of his boys. Further, he quoted that the whole team decided to donate their match-winning prize to the families of the Martyrs. Fazal added that it a little gesture from the team and the Vidarbha Cricket Association.
“We as a team have decided to donate the prize money to the family of the martyrs who lost their lives in Pulwama. This is a small gesture from our team and VCA”: Irani Trophy-winning captain Faiz Fazal said as per Cricketnext.
Coming to the match, it was Hanuma Vihari, who was the star of the match but unfortunately, ended up on the wrong side of things. He smashed a brilliant century in both innings of the game to push his side to the decent position.
However, the lack of good bowling display saw them on the wrong side. For Vidarbha, it was a collective performance from the team. Akshay Karnewar and Sarwate were brilliant alongside the top-order batting section. Karnewar collected the man of the match trophy for his brilliant century when it mattered the most.
