Saurashtra will be facing the Rest of India’s squad at Rajkot’s Saurashtra Cricket Association stadium to clinch the Irani Cup title. The tournament was last played in 2019, and that’s why Saurashtra, the champions of the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy season are selected to play the match.

Irani Cup is decided by the one-off test between the Ranji Trophy Champions and the Rest of India squad. In 2019-20 Saurashtra won the Ranji Title by defeating Bengal in the final. The tournament has not been played for the last three years because of the Covid pandemic.

The Rest of India side always consists of star players, and the case is the same this season as well. It will be interesting to see the battle between both sides on a batting-friendly Rajkot’s track.

Hanuma Vihari will be leading the Rest of India’s side in the Irani Trophy. This is a top-heavy squad with players like Mayank Agarwal, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Priyank Panchal and Abhimanyu Easwaran included. It will be interesting to see the batting lineup of the side in the match.

Jaiswal was in incredible form in the Duleep Trophy, where he scored 497 runs in just 3 innings, he is looking in stunning form. Mayank Agarwal scored 136 runs in 2 matches of the Duleep Trophy, and he is also looking to find his place back in the Indian test team as well.

Priyank Panchal and Abhimanyu Easwaran have also been constant performers for their respective states, and it will be interesting to see the opening pair of the Rest of India in the match. However, Baba Indrajith will find himself a little unlucky as he missed out despite having some really good performers.
