Manish Pandey helps his team capture the T20 trophy
Leading Karnataka in the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019/20, Pandey's side was asked to bat first after TN's Dinesh Karthik won the toss and chose to bowl first. After openers Lokesh Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal fell, Mayank Agarwal got out for a duck and Pandey added stability to his team's innings - remaining unbeaten on 60 and helping them get to a defendable total of 180. While his team defended the total, Pandey took two catches and effected the run out of the dangerous Vijay Shankar, which led his team to a victory by a narrow margin of a run. Pandey will now play for India in the upcoming T20I series against West Indies.
