Great to see representation from so many states - HP, J&K, Tamil Nadu, Kerala... truly a national team! The support staff looks experienced too. Hope DD Sports or some channel shows these matches live.

While I appreciate the initiative, I wish there was more media coverage for these events. Deaf cricket deserves the same spotlight as mainstream cricket. The players work just as hard! 🙏

So proud to see Indian deaf cricket growing! The fact that we have two wicketkeepers shows depth in the squad. Hope this inspires more differently-abled youth to take up sports! 🌟
