The moment of reckoning finally dawned on the Karnataka team after 14
long seasons. And while seizing the moment, the Karnataka players
ensured that they would not be denied their shot at glory by completing a
seven-wicket win over two-time champion Maharashtra at Rajiv Gandhi
Stadium to win the Ranji trophy for the seventh time.
*. With Maharashtra resuming at 272 for six, Karnataka captain Vinay Kumar had preferred pace for most of the morning session, clearly in no mood to give away easy runs. But it was when he brought on 20-year-old leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal that things started happening; the latter did not disappoint his captain, sending back Srikant Mundhe (42, 75b, 3x4), who was beginning to look dangerous, and Akshay Darekar (13) in quick succession.
