Vijay Hazare Trophy: Padikkal, Karun Centuries Help Karnataka Register Easy Win Over Kerala
Vijay Hazare Trophy: Centuries from Devdutt Padikkal and Karun Nair helped defending champions Karnataka cruise to an eight-wicket victory over neighbours Kerala in their Elite Group A match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy in Ahmedabad on Friday.
Padikkal and Nair shared a match-winning 223-run partnership off 234 balls for the second wicket as Karnataka chased down Kerala's 284/7 with 10 balls to spare. Karnataka, who defeated Jharkhand in their tournament opener, elected to field and restricted Kerala after they stumbled to 49 for three.
Baba Aparajith (71 off 62) and wicketkeeper Mohammed Azharuddeen (84 off 58) led the recovery with substantial contributions. Left-arm pacer Abhilash Shetty claimed 3-59, while leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal took 2-61. Karnataka lost captain Mayank Agarwal early in the chase before Padikkal and Nair took control and guided Karnataka to their second consecutive victory.
