New Delhi, Feb. 9 -- India's star batter KL Rahul's outstanding 130 helped Karnataka to gun down a daunting 325-run target to knock 42-time champions Mumbai out in the Ranji Trophy quarter-final at the Sharad Pawar Academy in Bandra-Kurla Complex, Mumbai, on Monday.

Rahul struck his 24th first-class hundred, scoring 130 from 182 deliveries, laced with 14 fours and a six, to anchor the chase.

Apart from Rahul, Smaran Ravichandran also provided vital support with his unbeaten 83 off 123 balls, including 11 fours, to seal the match for his side.

Vidyadhar Patil eventually struck the winning run, completing a significant victory for Karnataka. Karnataka will take on first-timers Uttarakhand in the semi-final beginning February 15.
