A splendid knock by Rahul Dravid. This stylish 20-year-old bats-
man almost single-handedly brought Karnataka to a position of
strength, as wickets tumbled at the other end after opener Arun
Kumar departed for a well-made 68. Thanx to the efforts of these
two youngsters, Karnataka now have a lead of 302 runs at the end
of 3rd day and can go for the kill on the final day.
