India Red have been beaten comprehensively.
That was a one-sided affair, with India Red showing no signs of a strong comeback following their appalling batting display. India Blue were the dominant team throughout this tournament and were the deserved winners in the final today! Yuvraj Singh, despite his poor run with the bat, led his side well. After three competitive games in the preliminary round, the David vs Goliath affair that the final eventually turned out to be, proved a bit of an anti-climax.
Siddharth Trivedi wins the man-of-the-match award for his 3 for 23.
Robin Uthappa is the man of the series for scoring 94, 76, and 46 in his three games in the competition.
India Blue take home the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy.

Parmar to Rahane, OUT
plumb!! that was pitched outside off and spinning towards middle, kept really low, Rahane could not get the bat down in time, was rapped on the pads. The fielders go up and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. That was an easy decision!
