Karnataka has an unprecedented record of reaching five finals in Vijay Hazare Trophy and winning all of them.
Parag had a horrible IPL 2023 season, scoring just 78 runs in 7 innings. In his first appearance in a elite-level game, he scored just 33. Harshit Rana, on the other hand, shone bright with a superb hundred.
KKR's Rinku Singh had a fabulous IPL 2023 where he scored 474 runs from 14 matches. But his start in Duleep Trophy 2023 has not been pleasant as he made just 38 runs in the first innings.

Delhi, struggling at 41 for five, stared at an early finish and needed skipper Dhruv Shorey (batting on 13) at stumps on Saturday to play a long innings.

For Karnataka, Abhimanyu Mithun took a five-wicket haul, while Stuart Binny got two scalps.
