I am surprised that this tournament has telecast on Star Cricket & promotion going on in terms of boards at bus stops etc.

Future IPL players hai bhai. Saste main mil rahe hongey.

 

[mhsabir]

lol. Not sure how many of them would be even selected for domestic cricket. Yeah, but it does seem a shortcut to getting noticed "for" IPL.
Ooohh ... University of Madras (My college was/is affiliated to them)

They don't have Delhi University there - one of the strongest teams in All India inter-varsity tournaments.

I guess they were not the leading team this year?

Don't know if DU participated in that trophy, or if they sent their A team for that. The best team is usually reserved for All India Inter Varsity. Unmukt Chand is a part of the DU team.

Another thing is that this is the shorter format, whereas I am thinking that they might be a stronger unit in the longer version?

 

[rodeoz]

Yeah. I believe that might be a case.
