BENGALURU: Karnataka pacers have been on song in Ranji Trophy this season. Irrespective of the pace combination on show, they have played a big role in bundling out opposition for low scores.
On Tuesday, Venkatesh M (5/36) made the most of the opportunity in his first-class debut to dismiss Uttarakhand for 116 in the quarterfinals at the Chinnaswamy Stadium here. In reply, Karnataka scored at a quick rate (4. 73 runs per over) and were 123 for no loss at stumps on the opening day with a lead of seven runs. Mayank Agarwal (65 batting, 86b, 9x4, 1x6) and Ravikumar Samarth (54 batting, 74b, 7x4) continued their form to put the home team in control.
