Ranji Trophy: Karnataka’s Late Declaration Costs Outright Win As Saurashtra Hold On For Draw
Leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal once again proved to be Karnataka’s standout performer, taking three wickets in the second innings to complete a brilliant match haul of 11 wickets. His control, flight, and variations kept Saurashtra under constant pressure on a pitch that increasingly assisted the spinners.
Chasing an improbable 229 in just one and a half sessions, Saurashtra found themselves in trouble early at 43 for four in the 13th over. The track’s variable bounce and turn made batting a challenging task, and Shreyas exploited those conditions expertly. His delivery to dismiss Ansh Gosai perfectly showcased his mastery — a sharp googly that zipped through after pitching, sneaking past the right-hander’s static defence and crashing into the stumps.
