Irani Trophy 2013-14: Karnataka lose Ganesh Satish for 84 post lunch against Rest of India on Day 2

Harbhajan rewarded for disciplined spell post lunch.

Feb 10, 2014

Karnataka are on the verge of overhauling Rest of India’s (ROI) total of 201 in the first innings of the Irani Trophy at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. They however, lost the key wicket of Ganesh Satish for 84.

Proceedings have been a bit slow after lunch. Satish, the man who attacked the ROI bowlers during the morning session had to be patient. Karun Nair had offered a chance early on as he hit a ball straight on Jiwanjot Singh’s shin early in the session. Jiwanjot failed to hold the opportunity and Harbhajan Singh sighed.

Dinesh Karthik was injured during the game as a ball kept low and hit him on the foot as he tried to collect it. As a result, Kedar Jadhav has moved into the keeping duties. The pair got their 50-run stand off 131 balls.

But Harbhajan looked threatening as he got the outside edge on a few occasions. Satish was dropped in the slips off Harbhajan’s bowling before he was dismissed. Replays showed that Satish had not edged the ball.
