Aneeshwar Gautam earned maiden senior Karnataka call up in 2022, but it took four years for him to make his debut. Now pure relief after scoring his first hundred, in his second match, against Tripura at Mysuru. #RanjiTrophy

Aneeshwar Gautam gets his maiden century, in his second Ranji Trophy match. Serious patience and grit in this 200-ball century against Tripura. #RanjiTrophy

Karnataka southpaw opener Rohan Patil speaks after scoring 72, in only his second Ranji Trophy match. Sound technique, calm temperament - good red ball prospect.

Karnataka head coach Vinay Kumar says "dry wicket" was the reason to play three spinners, and drop Kaverappa. Unrelated note, nice to see Vinay back in Karnataka colours. Very fond memories of covering his dominant era as Karnataka captain. #RanjiTrophy

Bad morning session for Karnataka. Inconsistent bowling barely tested the Tripura batters. Tripura 88/2 at Lunch. #RanjiTrophy #Mysuru #KarvTri

Hello from warm Mysore. Karnataka pick three spinners - Shreyas, Shikhar and Ritesh - in the eleven against Tripura. Kaverappa, Abhilash Shetty out.

Political television anchors doing false equivalence, and fellating the powerful on their shows, and then giving gyan to cricket writers about journalism and objectivity, irony just died, first grow a spine, and yes STFU..

For Asian Games gold medallist Pranavi Urs, meeting her idol Rory McIlroy ahead of the DP World India Championship was a dream come true. Six-time Major winner McIlroy was impressed by the Indian’s resilience in the continental showpiece in Japan. ✍️ @AshwinAchal #DPWIC | Details: bit.ly/4zvtjyu 📸 Reuters, Pranavi Urs (Instagram)

In May, Rai stunned the golfing world by winning the PGA Championship, becoming the first Englishman to lift the title since Jim Barnes in 1919. Rai is one of the leading contenders at this week’s DP World India Championship. ✍️ @AshwinAchal #DPWIC | Read: bit.ly/4ymXyHc 📸 Special Arrangement
