Ranji Trophy Elite Group: Spinners Saransh Jain and Sagar Solanki combined to pick six wickets as Madhya Pradesh thrashed Karnataka by 217 runs on the final day of their 2025/26 Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match at the Alur Cricket Ground on Sunday.

The hosts folded for 144 in their reply, with off-spinner Jain (3-37) and left-arm spinner Solanki (3-20) running through the famed batting line-up.
