Several players made outstanding performances at the Irani Trophy 2024, especially in the match between Mumbai and the rest of India. Here are the prominent players who excelled:
Tanush Kotian (Mumbai)
Batting: Kotian hit 64 runs in the first innings and an unbeaten 114 in the second, demonstrating his ability to perform under pressure. His second-inning contribution was critical, as he helped Mumbai recover from a dangerous position of 171 for 8 to finish on 329 for 8.
Bowling: He also contributed significantly with the ball, taking three wickets for 101 runs in the first innings, limiting the remainder of India to 416 runs.
Sarfaraz Khan (Mumbai) contributed significantly with a double century (222 not out) in the first innings. His innings contributed significantly to Mumbai’s total of 537 runs.
Abhimanyu Easwaran (Rest of India) batted well and scored 191 runs. His performance served as a solid foundation for the rest of India’s batting effort, albeit it was insufficient to ensure a victory.
Mohit Avasthi (Mumbai) scored an undefeated 51 runs in the second innings, forging a critical partnership with Kotian to boost the total.
These performances helped Mumbai win their 15th Irani Cup title, their first since 1997-98.
