India’s domestic cricket season has kicked off with the Duleep Trophy. On the first day, India-A and India-B teams faced off. India-B didn’t have a good start as their batsmen kept losing wickets at regular intervals. By the time they reached 94 runs, 7 of their players were back in the pavilion. But after that, Musheer Khan and Navdeep Saini took charge. So far, they have built a partnership of 103 runs.
