BENGALURU: Karnataka cricket has often been associated with a wealth of talent, leading to a problem of plenty. But all that has changed. In recent years, it has been plagued by a dearth of quality players.
Take the wicketkeeper’s position, for example. The southern powerhouse had a decorated assembly line and the gloves changed hands smoothly. From S Krishnamurthy in the 1960s, to Syed Kirmani, Sadanand Viswanath, Avinash Vaidya, Somashekar Shiraguppi, Thilak Naidu and CM Gautam, Karnataka were never found wanting in that department.
