Manvanth Kumar's Century Helps Karnataka Gain Edge Over Saurashtra in Ranji Trophy
On day two of the Ranji Trophy match at Alur Grounds, Karnataka scored 342 runs, led by Manvanth Kumar's maiden first-class century (135). Saurashtra responded strongly with openers Hetvik Kotak (46) and Harvik Desai (77) putting on 110 runs, but Karnataka's bowlers, including Abhilash Shetty and Vidwath Kaverappa, made key breakthroughs. Saurashtra ended the day at 164 for four, trailing by 178 runs. Karnataka's fitness concern centers on pacer Kaverappa, who left the field with a calf injury.
