Feel bad for Mayank Rawat. Scored a fifty and took 4 wickets, but still ended up on the losing side. That's cricket for you. His all-round performance shouldn't be overlooked.

Great to see Luvnith Sisodia getting runs too. A solid, unbeaten fifty anchoring the chase. Karnataka has such depth in wicketkeeper-batters. The opening partnership of 122 was the match-winner, no doubt.

The quality of cricket in these corporate/institutional tournaments is seriously high. It's like a hidden IPL. More power to DY Patil for organizing this year after year. The real nursery for Indian cricket.
