Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023 – Hundreds from Mayank Agarwal and Samarth R set up Karnataka’s 222-run destruction of Jammu and Kashmir in its Gathering C opener of the Vijay Hazare Prize at the Narendra Modi Arena Ground B here on Thursday.
The initial pair constrained the J&K bowling unit into accommodation with its 267-run stand and fueled the group to 402/2.
Unperturbed by the low skip from the get-go, Agarwal took his risks against Rasikh Salam, stashing three limits through the off side. Samarth got rolling, flicking two half-trackers on his cushions from Salam through square leg.
Agarwal dulled the spinners in the center overs, moving down the wicket to hit two sixes against Sahil Lotra in the thirteenth over. Captain Shubham Khajuria’s ploy to utilize his scope of seasonal workers bore almost no prizes. His secret weapon, Umran Malik, neglected to mark the progression of runs all things considered.
