Somehow I love domestic cricket more than International cricket. Been following Karnataka team from the 1980s.

Big day for Karnataka Cricket Fans tomorrow as Ktk play Mumbai in RT QF! Ktk won 4 (one by inn) lost 10 (5 by inn) and drew 13 (FIL - 6 & FID - 7). In KOs Ktk won 2 (1 by inn), lost 8 (4 by inn) & drew 7 (FIL - 4&FID -3). Which way 28th match will go? All the best to KARNATAKA!!!

Historically Mum had upper hand over Ktk. From 87-88 to 09-10 in 8, Ktk lost 3 & FID-5. it all changed once R Vinay Kumar became captain. He instilled confidence and lead from front to dominate Mumbai. In last 7, Ktk won 4, FIL-2 & FID-1. Hope RVK's indomitable legacy continues.

Perfect day for Karnataka! If DP had stayed NO it would have been super prefect! Though the pitch offered help, pacers displayed disciplined bowling helping Shreyas Gopal to finish off quickly. Ktk just needs to bat long. Hope our flamboyant batters stay at the wicket & score big

Hello TNCA India won Under 19 men's Cricket World Cup! Not TN! Please come out of this regional mentality when India is playing. Congratulate the Indian team. TN boys did well but India won because of performance of whole team. Please uphold National Inclusiveness.

Mumbai pacers have hit back spectacularly to derail Karnataka innings! Except for Mayank Agarwal rest could not resist the Mumbai attack. Now it is Mumbai"s turn to bat long and set Karnataka a huge target. Can Karnataka bowlers do a repeat of their 1st innings performance?

Yesterday it was Karnataka's match to lose. Today it is Mumbai's match to lose! A 360 degree turnaround and Mumbai in control. Unless early inroads made into Mumbai batting tomorrow, Karnataka be ready to chase cherry for whole day. Not a good scenario at all for Karnataka fans.

Another day of see saw battle with both teams trying to gain control. Good come back from Karnataka bowlers. That 9th wicket partnership resulted in 65 extra runs to pursuit for Ktk. Tomorrow morning session first hour will decide the winner. What a natch it is turning out to be.

I had decided not to check the score till 3pm. Now I am in shock that Karnataka won and KLR finally scored useful runs for Karnataka!

Last year after white ball break R Smaran blossomed in RT. This year with returns of 9, 1 & 0, I feared for the opposite. But CLASS stood out. 83* vs Mum should rank as his best. Situation, opposition & conditions, all needed class act and Smaran delivered by staying till the end

I see praise for K L Rahul's knock and not so much for R Smaran's contribution (by those who follow KLR, not Ktk). If Smaran had not stayed there, not blunted all Mumbai threw at him, not kept scoring at good rate, not kept composure, Karnataka would have probably fallen short.

Match num 28 betwn Kar & Mum turned out to be one where teams fought tooth and nail! Fortunes swung both ways. Bowlers bringing their team back. Some aggressive batting. A roller coaster! A bad session put Ktk in danger zone and a fine session brought Ktk back. Match to remember!

From match vs Punjab, Karnataka is looking good! Team was scratchy in league. Batters in fine touch except Karun. He looked out of place in QF. Smaran is back to scoring runs and Mayank is consistent. KLR wants to do well in tests, so he too will score. A good feeling before SF.

Naming stands after fine cricketers of Karnataka is great. Justice is not done until a stand is named after R VINAY KUMAR, the greatest captain in country while he was at helm. Because of him Ktk dominated very COMPETITIVE domestic circuit for 8 years. Highly underrated achiever!

Another big day for Karnataka cricket fans as SF vs Uttarakhand starts tomorrow. It is 2nd match between teams. Previous was QF face off at Bengaluru in 22-23 which Ktk won by inn & 281 runs. Hope Ktk overcomes challenge by a competitive team which has done very well this season.

J Suchith should be in Uttarakhand playing XI tomorrow. He is one of their top performers with 25 wkts @ 24.2 & 414 runs@ 41.4! He has put in great effort on his batting and playing crucial knocks. For Ktk he scored 237 runs@ 13.94! Interesting match up with his former team mates
