2014 THIS DAY, THAT YEAR

Karnataka won their seventh Ranji title, beating a listless Maharashtra by seven wickets in the final, in Hyderabad. Only Mumbai have won the title more times. Centuries from KL Rahul and Ganesh Satish, and Maharashtra's shoddy fielding, gave Karnataka a 210-run first-innings lead. Kedar Jadhav made a hundred in Maharashtra's second innings, helped along by some defensive fielding tactics, but the target of 157 in a little over two sessions was an easy one for Karnataka's batting line-up on day five.
