“We simply have to go on the market and again ourselves just a little extra. To win a four-day recreation, it’s a must to play each session with the identical depth.

Karnataka, conversely, presents a well-balanced unit with strengths in each departments.

Karun Nair, Ravichandran Smaran, Abhinav Manohar, and skipper Mayank Agarwal have all been among the many runs. Pacers Vidwath Kaverappa and Mohsin Khan have been efficient with the ball, whereas leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal has added additional depth along with his very good all-round type.

“As a staff, we’re doing rather well, and we need to carry that momentum into this recreation. We’re enjoying at residence, and that provides us a little bit of a bonus,” mentioned Mayank.
