Air force complex ground

Air Force Complex Ground: In a needle clash between Jharkhand and Services in the Ranji Trophy at the Air Force Complex Ground, in Palam, a few days ago, Kumar Kushagra emerged as the Saviour for the visitors.

Kushagra scored 132 runs on Day Two of the four-day match, rescuing his team from a precarious 65/4, as Jharkhand eventually made 316 in their first innings. He also shared a superb partnership of 171 runs with skipper Virat Singh, showcasing not only his batting prowess but also his ability to navigate pressure situations.

The right-handed wicket-keeper batter, who recently secured a spot in the India ‘A’ squad for the last two four-day games against England Lions, said his priority lies in red-ball cricket over shorter formats.
