Karnataka’s newly appointed captain Smaran Ravichandran scored his eighth first‑class hundred, marking his first century while leading the side.
Smaran Ravichandran, who was named captain of the Karnataka cricket team for the current season, reached the milestone of an eighth first‑class century. The innings, recorded in a recent match, was his first hundred while wearing the captain’s armband.
The knock not only added to Ravichandran’s personal tally but also underscored his readiness to lead the side with the bat. His ability to convert starts into big scores has been a hallmark of his career, and doing so as captain adds a new dimension to his leadership credentials.
Karnataka, a traditional powerhouse in Indian domestic cricket, will look to build on this performance as the team progresses through the Ranji Trophy. Ravichandran’s century is expected to boost the squad’s confidence and set a positive tone for his tenure as skipper.
