So proud to see girls' cricket getting this platform! Kashvi and Myra's partnership must have been a treat to watch. Vaibhavi Dudeja's fighting 75* for DPS in a losing cause also deserves applause. Hope more schools field girls' teams next year.

Tanmay Chaudhary - 583 runs in the tournament! That's a staggering average. The boy is a proper run-machine. Great initiative by Delhi Capitals to nurture talent at the school level. The future of Indian cricket looks bright.

While this is wonderful news, I hope the focus isn't just on the elite schools. The article mentions 16 boys' teams but only 4 girls' teams. The real success will be when we have equal participation. The talent is there in every corner of the city.

Modern School's sports quota must be strong! Jokes aside, such comprehensive wins show great coaching and school support. Congrats to all the young champions. Especially impressed by the bowling figures of Avni Aggarwal (1/12) and Grihith Gumber.
