Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019-20: Best XI of the tournament
Karnataka managed to defend the title beating Tamil Nadu in the final.
Deepak Chahar (Rajasthan)
Deepak Chahar‘s stupendous Twenty20 International form- one that was accentuated to the hilt when he claimed the hattrick and registered the best-ever figures in T20Is (6-7) against Bangladesh- continued in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as well.
In fact, he very nearly notched up another hattrick when he claimed back-to-back wickets against Vidarbha. The right-hander claimed four wickets in the final over with three of them coming off the last three deliveries, but for a wide that he bowled during the hattrick ball. And, secondly when he claimed back-to-back wickets against Uttar Pradesh.
With the bat too, Chahar played a crucial knock when he scored a whirlwind 55 off 42 balls- a knock that included seven Brobdingnagian sixes; one that helped Rajasthan to notch-up a two-run win over Delhi. Overall, Chahar claimed 12 wickets in seven games at an average of 13.25 and a strike-rate of 11.5 which also included a four-wicket-haul against Vidarbha.
