So that's the sixth time out of the last seven years that rest of India have comprehensively beaten the Ranji champions comprehensively. This is a list of the margins the last five times: 404 runs, 361 runs, 187 runs, nine wickets and nine wickets. Cheteshwar Pujara's team have gone a step further and have won by an innings. From day one, when Rajasthan batsmen failed to apply themselves, this game was Rest of India's. Vijay, Rahane, Pujara and Badri then piled it on before bowling out a demoralised Ranji champion second for the second time. Cheers for following the game on Cricinfo and this is Kumar Chandan signing off, bye!
