26th Irani title for Rest of India.

One of the best come back in the history of Indian first class cricket, now this is the highest successful run chase in Irani Cup. They have read the script well and architect this chase brilliantly. Fazal started well with Bharat, Chatterjee... and then the partnership with Nair almost sealed it. They lost couple of quick wickets but Jackson and Binny ensured that's not going to hurt. Mumbai was sitting at the driving seat till yesterday but today failed to pick up wickets at the right time and also the dropped chances cost them the title. Karun Nair is named man of the match..That's all from this season and also it's sayonara to Indian domestic season. This is Sofri D Chandan signing off, ta ta. Cheers!
