V. Vyshak and Sharath Srinivas celebrated their maiden First Class centuries as Karnataka tightened its grip on Chandigarh on the penultimate day of their Ranji Trophy outing here on Sunday.
Immediately after the duo reached their hundreds, Karnataka declared on 563 for five. Faced with an innings deficit of 296 runs, Chandigarh moved comfortably to 61 for no loss at end of play.
Vyshak (103 n.o., 141b, 10x4, 2x6), promoted to five-drop ahead of an indisposed K.V. Aneesh, took an attacking approach. Wicketkeeper-batter Srinivas (100 n.o., 160b, 11x4) was cautious, playing close to the body and with a straight bat.
