This is amazing! The cash prize, coaching, and SG sponsorship will be life-changing for talented youngsters from smaller towns. Hope they extend this to other zones soon.

While the initiative is good, I hope they don't just focus on raw speed. Cricket requires skill and temperament too. Six balls might not be enough to judge true potential.

As someone who coaches young cricketers in Delhi, this is exactly what we need. The professional coaching and stipend will help so many talented kids who can't afford proper training. Well done Servotech!

Meeting international players is the best part! That exposure and motivation can't be measured. Hope they include women's cricket in future editions too. 🇮🇳

Great initiative but registration process should be transparent. Sometimes these competitions favor players with connections. Hope they maintain fairness throughout the selection.
