Though vidarbha

IS Bindra Stadium: Karnataka, Jharkhand, Andhra, Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir sealed their places in the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals after getting favourable results on the last day of their seventh round league matches.

At the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Karnataka captain Devdutt Padikkal smashed an unbeaten 120 off 85 balls to steer his side to a stunning chase of 250 in just 27.5 overs against Punjab and clinch the last quarter-final spot.

The left-hander, elevated to captaincy after Karnataka suffered a heavy defeat to Madhya Pradesh in the last game, aced the chase with a commanding knock and was supported by Mayank Agarwal’s brisk 53 off 36 balls.
