Ranji Trophy Final: Mayank’s Defiant 130* Takes Karnataka To 220/5 At Stumps Against J&K On Day 3
Hubli Cricket Ground: Opening batter Mayank Agarwal produced a magnificent rearguard century to anchor Karnataka’s resistance, but Jammu and Kashmir retained firm control on the proceedings at stumps on Day 3 of the Ranji Trophy final at the Hubli Cricket Cround, the home side closing at 220/5 in response to the visitors’ imposing first-innings total of 584.
Resuming the day with Jammu and Kashmir’s lower-order at the crease, Karnataka struck early through Prasidh Krishna, who completed a superb five-wicket haul as the visitors added 57 runs to their overnight tally. Valuable contributions from Sahil Lotra (72), Abid Mushtaq (28), and Yudhvir Singh Charak (30) helped push Jammu and Kashmir to a commanding 584, establishing a dominant platform in the summit clash.
Facing a daunting deficit, Karnataka began cautiously but suffered an early setback when Auqib Nabi Dar removed KL Rahul before lunch, leaving the hosts at 35/1. Nabi’s disciplined seam bowling and probing lines set the tone for Jammu and Kashmir’s relentless pressure.
