In the Ranji Trophy, the Karnataka team was in trouble losing 8 wickets for 194 runs. In such a situation, Manwant Kumar, who came to bat at number nine, took the lead and scored a brilliant century.
Karnataka did not get off to a good start. The team lost an important wicket early on and the streak of wickets continued thereafter.
Karnataka lost seven wickets to score 187 runs. After losing the eighth wicket for 194 runs, the team faced a big crisis.
In this situation, Manwant Kumar, ranked ninth, batted patiently. He played a long innings and posed a strong challenge to the Saurashtra bowlers.
Manwant scored 135 runs off 214 balls. His innings included 11 fours and 6 sixes.
Manwant Kumar formed an important partnership with 10th ranked Abhilash Shetty. Together, they played an important role in helping Karnataka cross the 300-run mark.
This century is special for Manwant, as it is the first century of his first-class career. He is currently playing only his second first-class match.
22 year old Manwant Kumar has grabbed everyone’s attention with this innings. He has also been part of the Delhi Capitals squad in IPL 2025. (PC:PTI/X)
