Dinesh Karthik led Tamil Nadu celebrated their second Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win to “Vatthi Coming” a song from the new Amazon Prime movie of Vijay Sethupathi called Master. This was the first title win for Tamil Nadu in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy after they won the inaugural edition in 2006-07 under the captaincy of Karthik itself.
The video of the victory dance was uploaded by an account of ‘Srini Mama’, a popular Twitter user. In the video, the TN team members could be seen dancing to the tune of the song as Karthik instructs them to.
The Tamil Nadu team defeated Baroda in the final by seven wickets at the Sardar Patel Stadium, in what turned out to be a one-sided affair. Chasing a target of 121, the Tamil Nadu team went cautious early on and then with Baba Aparajith anchoring the innings, Karthik and Shahrukh Khan led then to the win with quickfire runs at the end, finishing the match with two runs remaining.
Baroda, which reached to the finals was never expected to make it and the Pandya brothers, Hardik and Krunal lauded the team for their brave campaign. Baroda defeated big teams like Haryana and Punjab in the knockout and Gujarat at the group stage even after their full-time captain Krunal Pandya had to leave in between after his father's death.
