Mumbai wins Irani Cup
Ajinkya Rahane might not be in the Indian team as their Test vice-captain. However, the veteran is having a streak of success as his leadership stint with Mumbai saw the addition of yet another feather to the illustrious cap, as the defending Ranji champions toppled Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Rest of India completely to assert domestic dominance.
The fifth and final day of the Irani Cup 2024-25 saw Mumbai’s lower-order batters Tanush Kotian and Mohit Avasthi keep the ROI bowlers dancing to their tunes, as Kotian notched up a terrific ton, while the latter too had an important half-century as well. Having gained a massive three-digit lead in the first innings, Mumbai decided to declare at 329 for 8, and both the captain shook hands, forcing a drawn match.
However, the first innings advantage meant that Mumbai were awarded the game as per the general playing conditions. This trophy means a lot to the side, as it marked their first-ever trophy since 1997, which was under the captaincy of former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar. This time round, Rahane was the skipper who led Mumbai, but the script of this action cinema was directed by Kotian (64, 114* and 3/101) and Sarfaraz Khan, who also scored an unbeaten 222 in the first innings, batting for over a day and half.
