Karnataka chalukyas

Bilateral T20 Cricket Series: Karnataka Men’s T20 Cricket Series for the Blind 2025 kicked off at Altiore Sports, The Oval, here on Wednesday, bringing together four teams named after Karnataka’s illustrious dynasties — Kadambas, Hoysalas, Chalukyas, and Wadiyars — each symbolising the State’s rich cultural and historical legacy.

The opening day saw high-intensity clashes. In the first match, Karnataka Hoysalas registered a commanding 42-run victory over Karnataka Kadambas. Captain Harish S led from the front with a scintillating 68 off 55 balls, guiding his side to a formidable 197/6 in 20 overs. Despite a valiant unbeaten 44 by Hemanth*, the Kadambas faltered under scoreboard pressure, finishing at 155/9.

In the second match, Karnataka Wadiyars outclassed Karnataka Chalukyas with a convincing 59-run win. Powered by Krishnamurthy S’s quickfire 36 off 26 balls and crucial lower-order partnerships, the Wadiyars posted 176/9. Their disciplined bowling and sharp fielding dismantled the Chalukyas, who were bowled out for 117.
