Vidarbha is back in the semi-finals with a fury, having missed the competition for five years. They won five of their seven games, dominating Elite Group A. Their batting might was on full display, with a particularly aggressive 109 from Atharva Taide against Karnataka. With seven wickets in the quarter-final, Aditya Sarwate's outstanding bowling was important in their convincing victory over Karnataka. Akshay Wadkar, the skipper, will try to lead from the front as Vidarbha looks to reclaim its Ranji Trophy glory.
