Ranji Trophy 2026-27: Kaverappa sizzles to keep Karnataka on top vs Saurashtra before final day

Karnataka’s Ranji Trophy campaign took a dramatic turn on day three as Vidwath Kaverappa returned from injury to deliver a fiery spell of four for 57, helping his side reclaim control after a shaky start. The hosts, trailing Saurashtra by seven runs at stumps, now lead by 92 after a chaotic finish that saw the visitors claw back from 303 for eight thanks to a 40-run stand between Parth Bhut and Jaydev Unadkat.

Karnataka’s top-order, anchored by Mayank Agarwal’s absence due to injury, struggled early, but Arpit Vasavada (65) and Sammar Gajjar (79) stabilized the innings with a 125-run partnership for the sixth wicket, proving the side’s resilience despite the setback.
