His valiant knock was the only notable contribution from the Rest of India batters.
Yash Dhull, the 2022 Under-19 World Cup-winning skipper of India, is currently enjoying a great run of form across the limited-overs and the red-ball format. Coming on the back of a magnificent outing in the regional T20 tournament, Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025, the batter also put up a great show in the recently concluded Duleep Trophy 2025.
Following this, the Rest of India (ROI) batter has once again notched up a valiant 92 against Vidarbha in the ongoing Irani Cup 2025.
After electing to bat first, Atharva Taide and Yash Rathod led the charge for Vidarbha’s 342-run total, with two stunning knocks of 143 and 91, respectively. In response, Rajat Patidar’s ROI were folded for just 214 runs after a combined bowling effort from Vidarbha, spearheaded by Yash Thakur’s four-wicket haul.
Though pacer Anshul Kamboj fought back with a four-fer to bundle out Akshay Wadkar and Co. for only 232 in the second innings, they had already registered a huge lead of 360 runs. However, the top-order, including Abhimanyu Easwaran and skipper Patidar, could not put up a fight following their fifty-plus scores in the first innings.
Dhull’s 92 run-knock, which included eight boundaries and a six, was the only notable contribution from the ROI batters, alongside the gritty half-century from spinner Manav Suthar (56*). However, Vidarbha eventually defeated the ROI by a huge margin of 93 runs to lift their third Irani Cup title.
The 22-year-old could not put up an impressive performance in his limited appearance of just four matches for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2023. But the youngster might grab a deal in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction after his recent heroics in the domestic circuit.
Before scoring a sublime 133 for the North Zone in the Duleep Trophy quarter-finals, the batter also had a blazing DPL season for the Central Delhi Kings. He became the third-highest run-scorer of the 20-over league, with 435 runs in nine matches, including two hundreds and three half-centuries, at a blistering strike rate of 167.31.
