Karnataka vs Jammu and Kashmir, Final, Ranji Trophy Elite 2025-26 - Player Highlights

Sahil Lotra to Kruthik Krishna, out Lbw!! Kruthik Krishna has been trapped in front but he takes the review quite quickly. Has he got an inside edge? He was indicating to the umpire that there was bat involved before the umpire gave him out. Was the in-drifter that landed on a fuller length outside off and kept coming in with the angle. Kruthik Krishna leaned ahead to counter it but played down the wrong line and seemed to have gotten beaten on the inside edge and the ball struck him in front. Time for the replays. UltraEdge rolls in to play. His bat seemed to have struck the back of his front pad while the ball was really close to the inside edge as well. There's a bit of deflection as well. Third umpire Virender Sharma is having a look from different angles. He takes a look at a lot of replays and is still unsure. He eventually mentions that "it's not conclusive that the bat hit the ball." Ball-tracking rolls in and it returns three reds - it would have crashed into middle and leg. Krishna is standing there in disbelief but he has to go. Looked touch and go but the third umpire didn't have any conclusive evidence to overturn the onfield call. Jubilation amongst the J&K players.
