Karnataka are the winners of 2014 Vijay Hazare Trophy. Remarkable year continues for team Karnataka and yet another feather to their crown - "Happy Camp".

Karun Nair was uncharacteristically subdued but he hung on and held his nerve till the end and saw his team home. Take a bow Sir. On the other hand Railways had Karnataka on the cliff for a while and few chances went begging. Hard luck Railways.

That's it from here and thanks for tuning in. Thilak Gowda and Chandan Duorah signing off - take care, cheers!!
