Return of Karnataka! After shooting at a shaky 57/4, Karnataka staged a remarkable recovery to reach 144/4 and showed immense power to get their innings back on track. The collapse began in the waning minutes before lunch with the loss of KL Rahul, triggering a frantic slide as Devdutt Padikkal, Karun Nair and Ravichandran Smaran departed for next to nothing. Faced with a crisis, Mayank Agarwal performed superbly under pressure and anchored the side with one of his best knocks. Alongside Shreyas Gopal, he forged a crucial 87-run partnership that stabilized the innings.
