Vidarbha successfully clinched their third Irani Cup title, defeating Rest of India by 93 runs in a hard-fought contest at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. The victory was largely set up by a dominant first innings performance and sealed by a strong bowling display on the final day.
Rest of India, chasing a massive target, showed resilience through a crucial 104-run partnership between Yash Dhull (92) and Manav Suthar (56*). However, the foundation laid by Vidarbha's Atharva Taide proved insurmountable. Taide, associated with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, was named Player of the Match for his outstanding knock of 143 runs off 183 balls, which included 15 fours and one six, providing the necessary platform for the team's triumph.
