Amid high expectations of Jammu and Kashmir making a maiden clinch of the Ranji Trophy, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday flew to Hubli to cheer for the UT’s cricket team that will play the finals with Karnataka.
The disciplinary action follows one of the most volatile moments witnessed in recent domestic cricket finals, when a fiercely contested match briefly descended into confrontation.
After losing two big wickets in the second session, the Jammu and Kashmir team started the third session with caution, but Sahil soon changed gears, hitting three fours to Prasidh Krishna and Shreyas Gopal.
Karnataka’s dominance was built around an imposing batting effort that yielded 1,059 runs across two innings — 736 in the first and 323 in the second.
