On the other hand, Mayank Agarwal, captaining Karnataka, has also been in scintillating form, amassing 651 runs over 10 matches. His performance included four centuries, with a highest score of 139 not out, and his average stood at an impressive 93.00.
Agarwal's leadership and aggressive batting have been crucial for Karnataka, leading them to the final against Vidarbha. His strike rate of over 100 complements his score tally, showcasing his ability to score quickly and anchor innings when necessary.
Both players have not only showcased their individual talents but have also played significant roles in their teams' campaigns. Their performances underline their status as leading domestic cricketers in India, and their rivalry in the final added an extra layer of excitement to the tournament.
With such numbers, Nair and Agarwal have undoubtedly set a high benchmark for the upcoming seasons, reinforcing their reputation as key players in India's domestic cricket scene. If the duo continues their form in the same way, they would even force their case for International return for India.
