While the batting performances are exciting, I wish the article gave more details about the bowling attacks. Good bowling often goes unnoticed in domestic cricket 😕

Aquib Nabi's 3/30 for J&K is impressive! Good to see talent emerging from smaller cricketing centers. Domestic cricket is the real backbone of Indian cricket 🏏
