At stumps on the penultimate day, MP were 81/2, needing 356 on the last day to win their maiden Irani title.
This was after Yashasvi Jaiswal mauled a hapless Madhya Pradesh attack into submission with another near-flawless hundred, putting Rest of India in the driver’s seat to retain the Irani Cup trophy.
AS IT HAPPENED
Jaiswal, who struck a sublime 213 in the first innings, scored a magnificent 144 out of his team’s second innings total of 246, helping the side set a stiff target for the hosts.
With the kind of bowling at RoI’s disposal, it was always going to be a difficult task for MP, and day’s proceedings lived up to the script.
A victory to savour! ????????Rest of India register a 238-run win over Madhya Pradesh at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium… https://t.co/m5nfxwTMLd
