Despite beating 41-time Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai by an innings and 20 runs on the fourth day of the Ranji Trophy quarter-final yesterday, Karnataka was in no mood to celebrate the victory. The southern stalwarts took the field again and engaged in a game of football at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium in Jamtha yesterday. Mumbai, who collapsed for 173 in the first innings, managed to put 377 on the board in the second dig. Suryakumar Yadav, the team's vice-captain finally got his first century of the season, but his 108 off 180 balls (16x4, 1x6) could not help his side avoid an embarrassing defeat.
