Rest of India wins Irani Cup 2026

Rest of India secured the Irani Cup 2026 on Sunday after defeating Jammu and Kashmir, who stumbled during their pursuit of a 279-run target and were dismissed for 111. Mukesh Kumar spearheaded the bowling attack with six wickets, while his pace partner Akash Deep provided crucial support by claiming three dismissals, including both opposing openers.

Jammu and Kashmir initially showed promise during the chase and reached a stable position at 89 for three before suffering a dramatic collapse. The batting lineup lost its final seven wickets for just 22 runs, allowing Rest of India to comfortably claim the trophy for the first time since the 2024-25 campaign.
