Good to see that KL Rahul getting a ton. But even now I feel he plants his front foot right across and gets into an awkward position, and that lands him in trouble against the inswinger. No wonder, he has been out lbw or bowled in this series. Something that I wrote last year in an article on him and even now can't change my opinion. However, he is technically the best batsman going around in India's domestic cricket. Of course, he is part of a very strong batting line-up from Karnataka. Also good to see that his teammate from Kar. Karun Nair has been included.

Rahul, Samarth, Uthappa, Manish Pandey, Kunal Kapoor, Karun Nair, followed by Binny at 7. That is some batting line-up line-up. Sathish, KB Pavan and Amit Verma have all gone to other sides as the competition to get into that Karnataka's side is very very tough. No wonder Kar. win almost everything. Even Mayank Agarwal can't get a regular place in that FC side
