Bengaluru: Karnataka gave a big blow on their quarter-final night against Tamil Nadu as a big batsman and off-spinner K Gowtham had been ruled out from the tournament due to injury.
Both are expected to return home on Tuesday.
Samarth, the highest run-getter for Karnataka in the competition, broke his left little finger during the pre-quarter-final against Rajasthan.
Gowtham, who joined the team for KO after returning from the Indian tour ‘A’ in South Africa, had a class 2 medial meniscus injury on the left knee.
