Anukul Roy's 10-wicket haul deserves more attention! 8/55 and then completing 10 wickets in the match - that's proper spin bowling. Hope the selectors are watching these performances closely.

Yash Rathod averaging 60+ in first-class cricket is incredible! To be in the same bracket as legends like Vijay Hazare shows his consistency. Domestic cricket in India has so much depth right now.

While the batting performances are amazing, I'm concerned about the bowling standards. Teams scoring 500+ runs so frequently suggests the pitches might be too flat. Need more balance between bat and ball.

Hanuma Vihari showing his class again! After everything he's been through, still scoring centuries for his state team. True professional 👏 Hope he gets another chance at the international level soon.

Great to see Yashasvi Jaiswal getting twin fifties and looking solid. The future of Indian batting looks secure with talents like him coming through the domestic system. Exciting times ahead!
