After three wins in the first three matches of the Deodhar Trophy, South Zone finds itself on top of the table, tied on points with East Zone with a better net run rate. While South’s bowling attack has been the key to their success, the batting effort has been led by openers skipper Mayank Agarwal and his deputy Rohan Kunnummal.
While Agarwal is a proven performer, having played for the country, Kunnummal was the aggressor in the two matches against North and North East, scoring quick half-centuries and giving the innings momentum at the start.
“It’s been good so far, and I am getting into a good rhythm. It feels so nice to win matches for my team,” said Kunnummal, playing his first tournament in six months.
