Classy Smaran’s stroke-filled century leads Karnataka to Vijay Hazare title

“Shot-ra Dei!” Shouts of joy rang out from the Karnataka dugout when Smaran Ravichandran started to unfurl boundaries to drag the team from 67 for 3 in the 15th over towards a very competitive total in the final of Vijay Hazare Trophy.In the end, his splendid 103, allied with breezy fifties from Abhinav Manohar (42-ball 79) and Krishnan Shrijith (78) propelled Karnataka to a match-winning 348. Vidarbha’s resistance came from Dhruv Shorey, who scored his third consecutive hundred, and Harsh Dubey (30-ball 63) who threatened an unlikely heist but fell well short in the end.“It’s a very interesting period for Karnataka, lot of youngsters coming in with great skill sets and mentality. Unbelievable to be part of this group and to have won the trophy. Was a game-changing partnership, we were 67/...

Dream is still alive to play for India: Karun Nair hopeful after bull run in Vijay Hazare Trophy

After a prolonged wait on the sidelines and a melancholic social media post nearly three years back, Karun Nair has made a sensational reunion with cricket, scoring five hundreds in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy and he is now cautiously optimistic about wearing the Indian jersey after eight years.
