Irani Cup 2024: Mumbai vs Rest of India Live Updates
The Irani Cup 2024 began today with a thrilling contest between Mumbai and Rest of India at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ikana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Rest of India captain Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and chose to bowl first, putting Ajinkya Rahane’s Mumbai team to bat under pressure right from the start.
Mumbai struggled from the very beginning, as Mukesh Kumar delivered an exceptional performance with the ball. He dismissed Prithvi Shaw, Ayush Mhatre, and Hardik Tamore in quick succession. The highlight of the match came when Devdutt Padikkal took a spectacular catch to dismiss Shaw, giving the Rest of India an early breakthrough. Mhatre, who looked in good form, was soon sent back, and Tamore couldn’t open his account, leaving Mumbai at 60/3 in 20 overs.
With three key players out, Mumbai’s hopes now rest on captain Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer. Both batsmen need to form a strong partnership to stabilize Mumbai’s innings and build a solid total. The Rest of India bowlers, especially Mukesh Kumar, are in great form, making it difficult for Mumbai to recover.
