Karnataka won Buchi Babu all-India cricket tournament outshining Kerala's commendable fight in the final. Last year also Kerala gave a decent fight to Maharashtra who won the championship. This tournament is to honour Mothavarapu Buchi Babu Naidu (1868–1908). Who was an Indian socialite and cricket pioneer who organised cricket clubs for native Indians. He is considered to be the "father of Madras cricket" and founded the annual Madras Presidency Matches, the first of which was held shortly after his death.
