Karnataka to Face Saurashtra in Ranji Trophy Match with Shreyas Gopal as Captain
Karnataka prepares to face Saurashtra in a Ranji Trophy Elite Group-B match at Alur Grounds, aiming to overcome a long-standing losing streak against the West India team. Shreyas Gopal will captain the side in the absence of K.L. Rahul and Smaran R, who are on national duty. The return of pacers Vidwath Kaverappa and Vyshak Vijaykumar strengthens Karnataka's bowling attack. Saurashtra, recent two-time champions, enters the match with three points from their previous game, while Karnataka has one point from a draw against Andhra.
